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 garden in zone 8b in the Pacific Northwest. In order to make an easier to maintain landscape, I am adding shrubs to a long border at the school garden that gets morning sun and some afternoon shade. I wanted Little Henry as it would have spring and fall ( school year) interest and would do both sun and shade. I had Great Garden Plants ship them in September. They arrived in great shape. I planted them and put a bamboo stake near them so they would not get trampled. This spring they are leafing out and look great. I bought 3 Little Henry Sweetspire and also 3 Sugar Baby Forsythia at the same time. The photo shows one of the Little Henry Sweetspire with a stake next to it in the lower right of the photo. All the plants I bought arrived in good shape and all are doing well 7 months later. This April, I just placed another order for shrubs and perennials . I like the pricing and the quality of the plants. I have been gardening for 55 years and appreciate the selection of newer variety plants that perform well.
It has had some growth. One was blooming when it arrived, the other isn't blooming yet.
These arrived looking healthy and with a good shape. I have planted them, and the little white pom poms make me happy :0)
The plants were carefully packaged and healthy and they arrived per the ship date that I requested. The planting sites were already dug, so they took up residence immediately and they have done beautifully. All 3 shrubs are exhibiting new growth and the foliage is healthy. I am excited to watch the leaves turn to the red color in the fall, and produce their blossoms next spring!
Very well packaged, probably the only plant I bought online all season that arrived in good condition. Lovely, healthy and surviving. Very Happy Customer
