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
Hosta and coral bells are reliable and easy to grow additions to shade gardens. Even in city environments, these perennials won’t let you down.
My two coral bells plants arrived very well intact with about 5 leaves each. The plants are packaged with plastic wrap covering the soil to keep from spilling and the pots are secured into tight-fitting cardboard frames within the shipping box to protect the leaves. This packaging method is very effective. The plants have been in the ground for about a month and have doubled in size! The leaves are very large and most have a slight pinkish, coralish hue. So pretty:)
Arrived with a small root which is probably the reason why it is difficult to grow. Will wait a little longer to see how it turns out.
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! All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process if necessary.
Healthy looking plant. Arrived in great condition!
This plant was another one of the ones that was pretty badly dislodged in my shipment.
Lots of dirt had fallen out of the pot and The Roots were badly distorted.
The plant itself was very floppy not as tight and dense as I had hoped for however that will improve after planting.
The color is not as intense as photographed but I'm sure that will also come after it gets a chance to mature and really think it's roots in.
The size of the plant was nice again not as full and dense as I'd hoped for but it should improve in time
