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.
Delivery arrived in awesome shape, great planting instructions and tips. It’s been a few weeks and the Mazus plugs are doing great and little new growth sprouts are beginning to pop up! Very happy with this experience and cannot wait for it to fill in!
Came very nicely packaged,and the 2 white Mazus looked very,very healthy. Thank you.
2 of the 3 plants have already died, the other is struggling and will more than likely die as well.

White Mazus
We ordered the 32 pack of White Mazus ground cover and about 6 were brown on arrival but decided to plant them anyway in case they bounced back. Unfortunately, they didn't so I emailed customer service and received a response very quickly. They shipped out 6 replacement plants that were larger than the originals and they are doing great! I highly recommend Great garden plants. Customer Service is wonderful, the plant selection is so much better than the nurseries in my area. We will be ordering from them again for sure.
I purchase the White Mazus for ground over on a steep hill. Planted 3 weeks ago. It is growing in nicely.
Arrived healthy & in good condition and has taken off in the ground! Spreads quickly and has lots of flowers!
👍
The quality of all the items I purchased were fabulous. The reason for only 4 stars is that one of the items I ordered was not included in the original delivery. I contacted the company and they shipped the missing item it out at "no charge" as their error. I ordered 32 landscape Mazus plugs along with quart sized ones too and although tough to separate the plugs, the quality of the plugs was fantastic. I would highly recommend.
72 green healthy plugs arrived ready to plant. Separating growing stems took some patience and time. Planted all the plugs under shade trees…7 are struggling but hopefully this time next year there’ll be a blanket of purple and white under trees.
Pretty picture online. Hope the ones I planted do as well as photo.
Doing very well and already spreading despite drought in my area. Even had some slight blooms. Can’t wait to see what next year brings. As always, packaged so well with much care and arrived in exceptional condition.
Purchased a plug tray of both white and purple mazus. The white all died, while the purple are thriving in the same area. It's a mystery to me as planting location, conditions, and care have been identical. I will say the plants were well-packed and in good shape when they arrived.
Hello! We're sorry that you had trouble with your white mazus. While it might appear that the location and conditions are identical, often times there is a small environmental difference contributing to the loss of plant. Please email pictures of the plant to [email protected], making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible. Rest assured, we do have a 60-day guarantee on all of our plants. If you received your plants within that timeframe, we will be happy to apply your warranty once we receive the pictures. Happy Gardening!
It stands up to heat, humidity, sun, shade, foot traffic, always grows and the purple and white flowers are so pretty.
My plants have settled in the garden nicely as far as the health of the plant. They haven't had enough time to spread out from the original plant yet. I even have a few white flowers on the plants since planting them.
How does white mazus do in moist clay silty earth around a stream culvert? Part sun part shade
White Mazus grows best in medium to moist, well-drained soil. If you're soil has a lot of clay or easily becomes waterlogged, you may want to amend the soil in that area.
Is creeping mazus considered rabbit resistant?
The White Mazus is deer resistant, but isn't particularly rabbit resistant. Check out this link to view our rabbit resistant plants collection: https://www.greatgardenplants.com/collections/rabbit-resistant
What size pot does the white 32 landscape plug mazus come in?
The 32 landscape plugs come in a flat and each of the 32 plant plugs are approximately 2 inches around and 4 inches deep. You can see a picture of it on our plant sizes page here: https://www.greatgardenplants.com/pages/sizes
If I plant mazus now in the fall in coastal NJ will it survive the winter?
Yes, it should not have any issue surviving winter in your area, even if planted in fall.
Does mazus take full sun and moist soil? Thanx
Yes! Mazus prefers to grow in full sun and moist soils, as long as the soil isn't waterlogged.
