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 healthy and well packaged. It is still small but I already see new growth and it is starting to spread. I bought two and am satisfied with the purchase.
I love Montana Moss and Gray Owl junipers. They are magnificent, have a size to swoon over, look soft and graceful and full a space with elegance, with almost no requirements of you. They can span 6’ easily.
But. . . . If they start with two sprigs of 6” length, you cannot be blamed for being hugely disappointed. I truly did not expect a large, even a medium plant. This is smaller than a small plant, but not priced as a seedling. I don’t need nor want the reply sent to so many about “we told you they’re small. But they have good roots.” That’s the Blind Date with the Good Personality. These are tiny! I’ll take good care of them, tell my garden tour ladies they will grow, and hope I make it to 85 when they should be lovely. I am, yes, disappointed
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!
