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:

Your write up was deceptive and the plant died in three days. I'm not a novice gardener. I'm fooled once. Not again.

The Red Creeping Thyme plants arrived well packaged and in great shape. I’ve put 64 plugs in a 10ft round driveway circle with a Crimson Queen Japanese Maple tree in the center.
Shipping was quick and communication was great. Plants are all black right now, but I’m hopeful they will return to their original color.
I purchased 3 of these & the plants (for the money) were much smaller than expected (much smaller & more expensive than the ones at our local nurseries.) They did okay the first season, but did not come back, which was so disappointing. I'm in Mississippi, zone 8. I will buy locally next time, unfortunately. I really wanted these to do well.
