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:

bush distance

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 growing

My plant doesn't seem to be growing

Thank you for your feedback! It’s surprisingly normal for newly transplanted plants to appear like they aren’t growing. That’s because most of the growth occurs below ground in their first year as they allocate more energy to root development. Once your plant is established, it will start investing more in shoot and flower development.

You would think the plants for the price paid, they would be bigger! Deceiving upon delivery!

Also on delivery, even though packaging was good, the soil spilled out of all the plant pots. And what was sent per the order, there were missing plants. The time frame stated was in the planning but due to missing plants, I had to plant them myself, as my landscaper was to plant them and charged me for the planting. He was long gone! I am not as young as I used to be, having to plant them myself, was painful.

Only time will tell by the spring if they survive per the guarantee time frame.

Hello! We're sorry you are not satisfied with your plants! We do note that all of our plants are young on each product page and on our plant sizes page https://www.greatgardenplants.com/pages/sizes.The size and maturity of the plants varies widely depending on the time of the year you purchased and if they were recently trimmed. The important thing when it comes to purchasing plants, whether online or in a garden center, is that they have a full, robust root system, and that's what we prioritize in our greenhouses. The more roots a plant has, the more energy it can put into growing once it is planted in your garden. We do keep our plants trimmed to encourage strong root development! If you are in need of further assistance, please reach out to [email protected]. Rest assured, we have a guarantee on all our plants. Our fall guarantee covers plants received after September 1 until May 2024! If you received your plants within that timeframe, we would happily apply your warranty once we receive the pictures. Happy Gardening!

No balloons

They aren’t healthy, but they have no blooms. Disappointing.

It could just be too early! Your plants should be mature and producing an abundance of blooms within about three years. Following the theory of Steep, Creep, Leap; during year one you'll see foliage, but no blooms, since the plant is pulling lots of energy into a healthy, robust root system that will survive the winter dormancy period. However, once year two rolls around after winter dormancy, the plant will wake up in the garden and continue to grow. In the second season, you can expect to see blooms, though the plant hasn't quite reached its full size or full flowering potential. Finally, during year three the plant will take off and reach its full size. Flowers and foliage will be at their best and you can really see the full potential of your plant.

When will my new plant show some new growth?

Great Garden Plants

Most plants do the majority of their growing underground their first year in your garden. There is a handy saying about shrubs & perennials. "Sleep, creep, leap" refers to their growth habit for the first 3 years. In sleep mode, the first year, plants concentrate on growing their root system. Don’t be disappointed if it looks like your plants aren't developing new growth, because the important action is happening underground. In creep mode, you’ll notice more outward and upward growth in the second year. The third-year is the leap year. The root systems are stable and most perennials and shrubs are now at their fullest potential, allowing them to put more energy into foliage and flower production.

How many Stella d'Oro are in an order??

Great Garden Plants

This plant is grown in a 1 quart container, which is a 4" x 4" pot. One quart is one plant. With proper care this one plant will grow to 15" tall and 24" wide at maturity and have beautiful massive blooms.

Great Garden Plants

It is one plant that is in a quart sized pot (4in x 4in) and it is about 8-10 inches tall depending on the time of year!

I have a nice row of Stela D’oros. 18-20 years in ground. Don’t seem to be flowering as long or as much as they used to. Can they be thinned or is it time to replace the entire patch? I have a picture but don’t know how to attach it here.

Great Garden Plants

I would try dividing them to see if that helps with flower production, but wait until fall to do that. Also, make sure they are getting enough sun, very often the culprit is shade and that will definitely prevent them from flowering as much as they could.

My Stella D'orro plants have suffered from lack of water this year. The majority of leaves have already died and very few blossoms have appeared.

If I leave the plants alone this summer, is there a chance the bulbs will survive and my flowers will return

Great Garden Plants

This bulbs from this plant can survive periods of drought and dry summers. There is a good chance it will flower next summer.
