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.
Rozanne grows very good here and looks great!
I purchased these in April. They looked scraggly in the box but that's because they were trimmed to make the roots stronger. Now they've been continually blooming for the last six weeks. Love them!!
A nice slow grower that is responding well to water, sun and a little organic plant food! Thus far, very pleased with this new addition.
Just what I was hoping for! Pop of beautiful blue/purple!
Purchased 13 of these, planted right away. By winter time, they were browned and dead. Now that spring is arriving, I can’t practically see them anymore. They completely shriveled and died. Some of my other plants are sprouting healthy green. These are completely dead. Customer service only stands by their 60 day guarantee which isn’t fair considering you’re going into winter after the purchase.
Hello! Sorry to hear about your Cranesbill. Please reach out to our customer service at either 877-447-4769 OR [email protected] and they will be happy to assist you with your claim.
The pots were quart sized but the plants were tiny little starter plugs that had clearly been placed in a quart sized pot with a bunch of loose dirt before shipping. All the loose dirt shook out of the pot in transit. I paid for a quart sized plant, got baby starters in oversized pots

I just ordered 9 more
The plants were securely packaged and in excellent condition when they arrived. Due to the heat and lack of rain, I had to keep them in a tray on my porch, and finally got them in the ground this evening. But they are healthy and blooming like crazy. Looking forward to seeing them fill in their space.
I ordered 6 plants and they were all healthy and are now growing well
I was expecting a bigger plant but they arrived in great condition. One plant is already flowering!
This was a very small plant, weak leaves and almost no roots in the soil. Is there any way to get a replacement?

This plant is a workhorse and does not disappoint.
I bought two of them last autumn and neither came up this spring. So I bought two replacements. One is doing very well, the other appears to be struggling.

Not sure what happened during shipping but the plants were completely dumped out into the cardboard box with soil spilled everywhere. I hope the roots hadn't dried out during this shipping trauma. I was very disappointed. The plants were a gift for my mom - so I gave them to her as they came and we are hoping they will be okay.

Order arrived timely and in good shape, soil in containers still moist. Plants are settling in nicely.
Long lasting, carefree, and gorgeous!
A beautiful, long-lasting display that delighted us until November.

I love Great Garden Plants and have ordered several different plants-all of which are in pretty good shape upon arrival. This plant was the saddest, tiniest thing I have ever received. The root system was very small. It had two leaves when it arrived. It's been in the ground for several weeks and now has 4 leaves. For the cost of this plant it should've been much larger.

Each year the plants arrived in good condition. Each year they get bigger and better and I ordered more for other parts of the garden. Do well in partial shade and are really nice for some locations.
The leaves on this plant are such an usual and pleasant shape. They look healthy. There are only 5 but there is a lot of new growth at the base. I already uppitted it.
Definitely a good chocie.
All 16 plants came through the shipping very good. Excellent packaging design. Plants are thriving.
Plants arrived beautiful. Let them rest several days, then plot them in the ground even with the high heat keeping them watered and they’re already growing and doing good.
These looked scrawny and lifeless when they arrived. I'm hoping to save them but I would never buy this again!

These are unusually spindly. Not sure what to make of them or how they'll end up.
If you have questions! Please reach out to [email protected] and our friendly customer service team would be happy to answer any questions you may have! Happy gardening!
I ordered 3 Rozanne geraniums. Plants arrived well packaged and healthy. Will update once plants are established. I’ll definitely buy from GGP again!
All of our plants were very healthy and looking good.
