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:

I planted them right away, excited to see how they look in the spring!
My plants arrived in excellent condition and I was so happy to have instructions and guidelines for success potting and growing these new plants.
Great Garden plants did an excellent job in so many ways. The plants came on time and packed well. The starts were good size and healthy. In fact within a couple days planted they produced buds and were blooming. I contacted customer service and they were quick to reply and worked with me to change my order. All I can say is they were excellent in all they did for me. Thanks and I will look to order again!
I bought 4 Coreopsis. The three doing well when arrived, only one was stressed and died. I planted the three in my garden and they are doing really good. Flowers are blooming.
The plants were very healthy with very good roots. They have been planted in my cottage garden and never showed the least bit of shock. They are thriving.
