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:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
Arrived before blooms were opened, nicely packed. Plant is now thriving with beautiful little blooms.
I was disappointed in the size. The roots only filled barely half of the container. This was apparently a rush, throw it in a pot and sell it plant. I ordered late in the season and didn't expect flowers of course, or notable growth. The poor little thing was likely just trying to grow enough roots to survive, which it has.
We’re sorry you’re not satisfied with your plants! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development!

They arrived looking really good. Im hopeful they will be beautiful in the next spring
All 4 of the Coreopsis plants I ordered from Great Garden Plants arrived completey out of their pots. One looked dead on arrival. The other three are not going to make it either. I’m very disappointed with the company’s packing and delivery procedures and will never order from them again. Such blatant disregard for customers and the poor plants themselves is unbelievable.

I ordered 12 coreopsis but only got 11. Some other random plant was substituted. The Shasta daisies were ok except for one sad stunted one. Frankly, I expected better.

As usual, the plants arrived in good condition and are thriving in my garden.
The packaging was perfect to keep them safe in transit, and all my plants arrived in great condition! I'm excited to get her planted and see her flourish! 💖
easy as can be!
Every one of these is growing nicely
My order casts as much as a 6-8 inch pot locally but it was in a small net bag that fit into a 2 inch pot. It was a day late and arrived dry and limp. I was not able to revive it. And I will not repeat the mistake of ordering from here again

The sweetest blooms on this beautiful plant!
I ordered 6 of these little beauties about a month ago and they are coming into flower with gorgeous little pink flowers! They are perfect for my new garden and they add a delicate and soft aspect - SO happy!
Small but looked healthy
Perfect
love coreopsis
So far, so good
I planted my tickseed and they are doing great! I can't wait to see what they look like when mature. Thank you!
Good size, healthy plant. Safely packaged and quickly shipped. This perennial ads a light, feathery ethereal feel to your perennial or cutting garden. I love it and pink is harder to find in my area from the yellow hues so ordering online was the way to go!
Plants arrived healthy and packaged very well. These were so much bigger than I normally get from online. I was very impressed. Will be ordering again for future needs.
Just love it! Arrived on time and was healthy. Have planted it and it's doing and looking fabulous!
Relatively low maintenance.
Great Garden Plants. has great plants. at very good price's
Thank You

The daisy like flowers are a pleasant pink color. Supposed to bloom continuously without deadheading. We will wait and see. So far it’s good.
Arrived intact...doing very well!! No one local had this "pink coreopsis"! Would not hesitate to order again!
I got several of these pink tickseed plants and they are beautiful. They are so pretty all bloomed out. I want more of them!! They arrived healthy and thriving in my garden. The pink is a lovely shade of pink.
This plant is a favorite of mine and i had a hard time finding it in my area. I was thrilled when I saw that Great Garden Plants had it in stock. It is doing well and has bloomed with the other plants that I have. Will be ordering more next year
