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
Rain gardens have taken the horticultural industry by storm, no pun intended. Here, Great Garden Plants answers all your questions about designing, planting, and caring for rain gardens.
Ordered two. Both arrived green and alive. One has since thrived in the ground once it got past its first couple of weeks. The other suddenly seems shrinking rather than growing, kinda puny. Hope it makes it. I look forward to the seeing the colour of the blooms and see if they are really peach.
We're sorry you're having trouble with your plants. Please contact us at claims@greatgardenplants with your order number and photos of the plants, so we may start the claims process if necessary! We appreciate your feedback. Rest assured, all orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee. We look forward to helping!
They look great, healthy. Since I’ve put them in ground, they have sprouted new leaves. My concern was that one of them was white not salmon…guess that issue won’t be solved until they bloom next spring.
My plant was packed carefully and arrived healthy and ready to plant. A week later it is growing and happy.
This pale, yet vibrant color of Astilbes perfect to show off our shade garden. I do like the size of the plant and its maximum height because it will allow for a wider range of placement so it shows up well. Cathy.
