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.
Started blooming quickly. It looks beautiful. Had a delivery driver stop to take a picture.
Half arrived badly distressed and bone dry in shipping. Losing faith in this company, but this was a late July order for a very hot summer. I feel only 1 or 2 plants will survive out of 7. Definitely, must babysit these plants in a shaded area and acclimate to 1 hour of sun a day, perhaps for at least a week or 2. It's going to be tough for these plants to thrive and establish a good root structure before Winter sets in while leaving them in the containers. Feel they are very overpriced when I can buy the same plants locally next year in a 2 qt container and the plant will be triple the size.
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!

One arrived mostly dead but followed planting instructions for all three. Now one is definitely dead the second doesn’t look like it will make it. The last one has potential.

As an October order, I wasn't expecting to see any blooms on my deliveries, but not only are my new arrivals strong and healthy, they're still swinging for the fences with lovely blooms!
I planted this a year ago and it's thriving with non-stop flowers last year and this year. My only regret is that I wish I got more than one plant.
Beautiful, healthy plants. Many flowers.
So impressed how well it's growing and looks so impressive blooming all the time. Many neighbor compliments.
Oh my goodness! Uptick™ Gold & Bronze looks perfect in your garden, thanks for sharing picture with us. Please let us know if you ever have any questions, we're here to help. Happy Gardening!
I purchased these plants because they were considered hardy, deer and rabbit resistant. Soil was preped and turned up with a small Mantis tiller and added bags of compost. They arrived pretty sickly and are clearly grown from seed. I put in the ground days after receiving and watering heavily, acclimating to the sun gradually. I have shielded from midday sun and had to add some small wire supports to help the plants for over 1 month. Only 2 are thriving, 3 are stunned and not growing well, 2 died. The others are definitely stunned and may not make it through a Buffalo winter. Wait till Spring and buy locally if you can. Not worth the money when you can get a plant 2x larger for less at your local garden center.

Plant looks very sickly.
If they grow to be as pretty as the picture my garden will be amazing. The plants are in great shape and i am so ready to get them in the dirt.
The plants I ordered and planted were consumed within 2 hours due to a rabbit invasion - sure wish I would have been alerted. Shameless!
We're sorry that the rabbits enjoyed your plants before you could. Young plants are especially susceptible to rabbit damage, so we highly recommend protecting new plants in areas with high rabbit traffic.

Plants look healthy. They are planted and look to be growing.
Fantastic
I have oredered from Great Garden before....this time my plants almost immediately began to die and my contact of them for suggestions resulted in no response ! I am sick about it....not just the money but their failure to live up to their hype about support
One plant was dead when it arrived . The other one was not the correct color
