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:

Arrives as young plant
Whether you’re adding a pop of color to an outdoor patio, or creating depth and delight in a cottage garden, coral bells allow you to easily customize your landscape.
I planted these nearly a year ago & they're really thriving in my shady flowerbeds with my heuchera & hostas. Nice color & texture! Four stars for size & pricing. They're definitely bigger & less expensive at the local nurseries, which was a bit disappointing. But they've done well.
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. 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!

I count on Great Garden Plants for perennials as large and healthy as those I could buy at a local nursery or big box store. None of the tiny plants at exorbitant prices that other mail order firms sell.
Arrived healthy but very wilted and had some minor damage.

All did well
I've planted several coral bells in my landscape this year, and this one is a great addition. It adds a little zing! Arrived healthy and was actually larger than I expected. It's doing beautifully so far. No breakage or browning. I'm really happy with it.
