Description
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

Arrives as young plant
While vines may look effortless as they scamper over structures, many of them benefit from extra training to grow just the way you like. We'll break it down for each type, and even include examples from some of our great gardeners.
'Stand by Me Lavender' Bush Clematis
The Stand by Me Clematis arrived in beautiful shape. The soil was still moist and the plant was large for mail order. Growing conditions were not ideal this year since Spring was unusually hot and dry here. Even with these less than ideal conditions my plant has strived. Will definitely order from Great Garden Plants again.
This arrived well packaged and in perfect condition. I’ve planted it in a container and it’s establishing nicely. I can’t wait to see it flower
