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:

They arrived in good condition ,upon planting they were eaten by deer even though they are considered deer resistant only the new leaves were devoured and not the roots.I am hoping something good will come of it.I put deer repellent in the area.
Plants were very nice and well packed. They are growing well in the garden now. I’m looking forward to seeing them bloom.
First I'd like to note I very rarely write a review. Most items are typically what I expect, so these plants and packaging was a bit more. I found Great Garden Plants via an internet search and took advantage of multi plant discount and an additional code discount. I ordered 24 plants all of which arrived healthy and package very well.
I took the time to plant spaced per instructions with soil admendment and heavy mulch. For the first year (sleep year) the plants are growing better than expected. The first blooms are arriving and no signs of disease. I knew a few weeks ago I would be pleased with these plants and have since ordered coneflowers which are performing equally well.
If conditions are right for these plants I believe most will be very pleased.
Plants arrived in great shape. However, the deer must have gotten the word. That night the deer ate 1/2 of each plant. I was disappointed because they were supposed to be deer resistant. I ordered them again. So far, so good. My fingers are crossed that they will survive. Lots of $$$ lost in having to order twice.
We're sorry that the deer enjoyed your plants before you could. Young plants are especially susceptible to deer damage, so we highly recommend protecting new plants in areas with high deer traffic. All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please send your order number and pictures of your plants to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process. We look forward to helping!
Very happy with quality of plants. Strong, healthy and very nice size. Packed well. I would not hesitate to order from them in the future!
