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.
Young healthy plant arrived in the usual great packaging. Once planted it grew steadily and bloomed beautifully into fall. It wasnt as 'berry' color as I expected. I also dont see any signs of growth that its coming back though. I have other varieties that are a few inches tall already.
Hi Marissa, your photo is beautiful! The exact color of the flowers do rely on temperature. The cooler the temperatures, the more raspberry-colored the petals will be. If you have additional concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team at [email protected]. We are always happy to help out!
I purchased some berry chiffon tickseed and later I wanted more and they were out of stock. So I waited and waited and I kept checking because I wanted more. I was so excited when more were available. I just absolutely love this color! It’s like royalty in my garden. They are blooming and I just bought them this spring. They are dainty yet so bold they catch your eye immediately. This is a beautiful addition to my garden. Plants are very healthy and happy when they come from this company. Love this company and their plants!
These are dainty little things that wave in the breeze. I love the color!
The plants come packed well and are very healthy. I am going to be ordering from Great Garden again.
An online nursery that I can trust to provide me with the healthiest plants that are a decent size and get them to be in pristine condition.
My Berry Chiffon Tickseed is doing well!! No blooms yet, of course, but it is a cute little airy plant! It’s hard to be patient for blooms!!!:)
In very good shape and blooming
