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.
I watered as soon as they arrived. Then up potted them to a gallon pot before putting under a 50% shade cloth. Within a couple of days the leaves had turned to a crispy brown. I tried cutting them back but no new growth is emerging.

My plants are doing great. I can't wait till Spring to see the colors.
I love great garden plants. Not so much with this order. Everything else I have purchased is either thriving or growing really well with the exception of sunjoy orange pillar. Not sure if I will order again 😕

I ordered 3 last year & was so pleased I ordered 6 more this year to spread the color around. Been in the ground a month and doing very well! I recommended them to a relative who also ordered some.
Did well after a little TLC. Nice looking plant.
I received my 4 pillar barberry shrubs, so small and one of them in bad shape. now I am kind of worried if the 2 orange ones will survive.

Beautiful little shrub! Colors of lime green and orange make it stand out in my border bed. Of the 3 I ordered, 1 didn’t make it but GGP replaced it in no time! It wasn’t my 1st order and won’t be the last-thank you Great Garden Plants!
