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:

Rock 'N Low® 'Boogie Woogie' Stonecrop
My Rock n Low Boogie Woogie Stonecrop seems quite happy where I've planted it but really hasn't changed in size. One plant did put forth a shoot of what looked like flowers but they never bloomed and the shoot is now dry and dead. Hope they improve with time - they were pricier than I normally would choose.
Hello! Thank you for your feedback. When transplanting young plants from a nursery pot to a garden, the plant allocates more energy to root development instead of shoot development (aboveground). It's important for them to develop a robust root system so they can actually absorb the nutrients and water in the soil around them. It is hard to say for certain who quickly your new plants will grow, since so many factors - like weather, soil type, watering, fertilizing, and not least of all, the type of plant you purchased - all come into play. Perhaps you're familiar with the old saying about plants: first year sleep, second year creep, third year leap. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously. Happy Gardening!
It has not put out any runners but so far so good.
