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:

Ornamental grasses are a staple in most low-maintenance gardens because they are hardy, durable, and add beautiful color, texture, and movement to the landscape. During the winter, ornamental grasses continue to add interest, inviting birds with exposed seed heads while the dried flowers and foliage rustle in the winter winds. Here, we’ll list our favorite low-maintenance ornamental grasses for sun or shade.
First, this is my own fault but I thought a quart-sized plant was a plant in a 1 quart container. Nope. It’s in a pint-sized container. Second, the plants were not only small, but seemed overly fragile - so time will tell if these live or die. On sale, the plants turned out to be way more expensive than similar plants (thinking of the roses) I can get from my local HEB grocery store that were much larger and already blooming (specifically the knock out roses).
I feel like I wasted my money and will NEVER do business with this brand again. I’m sure it won’t matter to them or other clients they have, and that’s fine. However, if you’re thinking about buying from this company, make sure it’s all on sale first and know that their 1 quart sized plant is quite small and in a 1 pint container.
We’re sorry you’re not satisfied with your plants! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young and arrive in quart sized pots. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development! All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process if necessary.
I ordered 6 plants. They arrived as described... trimmed way back & wrapped in plastic. Five have slowly begun to grow & one has slowly died. I'm not sure ordering online is for me.
