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:

One of my 2 were replaced by yall. It died before the winter. The other one is healthy looking and growing. I can’t wait for it to bloom.
I ordered a total of 7 of these plants between two orders. Two plants still look reasonably healthy. The others do not seem to have survived.

The plants were small but healthy. Always hard for me to envision what the plant will look like when delivered. Looking forward to next spring/summer!
I’m having a very hard time controlling where this spreads. It’s trying to make my garden its garden.
I got five of these to brighten up an area of my garden which gets strong morning light, part-sun in early afternoon, and full shade by late afternoon. Two were fried into oblivion within weeks, and the other three clung to life for the rest of the summer, but suffered severe leaf burn. I plan to transplant any survivors this spring to a full shade location and cross my fingers. The plant description says these can take some sun (the description says up to full sun!), but my experience does not support that at all. Plant with caution.
Hello! We’re sorry you’re having trouble with your plants. All of our orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, but outside of that timeframe, we cannot be responsible for the care of your plants. If you’d like to talk to our customer service team, you can reach them at info@greatgardenplants.com. In the product's 'How To Grow' section, it is noted: 'As a general rule, they do well in shade, but for the brightly colored varieties, some morning sun ensures best color development. The color can wash out in full sun, and too much heat and light can cause the leaves to scorch.' Hope this helps!
