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:

Pollinators play a vital role in our ecosystems, gardens, and especially our food chain. Flowers produce pollen as a means of reproduction. While there are so many pollinator-friendly plants to choose from, here are seven of our favorites. You’ll love them, and the pollinators will too.
I’ve bought many of these. Usually take a year before they bloom but are very healthy … even in my rain garden
The plants arrived in a timely manner and were packaged very well. Since they were planted, they have taken off and look fantastic and bring a lot of color to the garden bed.
Still not sure. It arrived just fine. The leaves were standing up tall. Now most of them are laying down except for a couple in the center. I’m trying to figure out how to send you a picture.
Hello! This appears to be a watering issue. Most likely, not enough water. How much are you watering? How wet does the soil feet? Is there landscape fabric under the mulch?

I was very happy when I received my order and saw such a healthy plant! It is doing very well and is beautiful.
These plants didn’t look great upon arrival and they haven’t improved too much. Very puny looking and no flowers yet and they’ve been in the ground for a few months. I’m hoping they look better next season.
Hello! We apologize that you received plants not up to our standards. As we try our best to provide exceptional service, some factors like shipping and handling are outside of our control, and issues like this can sometimes happen.
In regards to flowering and growth, keep in mind that When transplanting young plants from a nursery pot to a garden, the plant allocates more energy to root development instead of shoot development (above ground). It's important for them to develop a robust root system so they can actually absorb the nutrients and water in the soil around them. Then after their root system is more developed they'll invest in their shoots and flower development. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. We hope this helps. Happy Gardening!
