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:

I purchased one of these Cornus Golden Shadows Pagoda Dogwoods
back in 2020. It has performed beautifully! I love it so much. But I have a problem. I planted it about 2-3 feet to close to the house. Could you possibly give me some advice on how and when I should transplant it? I'm so scared of moving it. I'm afraid I will hurt it or it won't make it. It's at least 9-10 feet tall now. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks so much in advance. Cindy
I just planted two, but I'm optimistic that they'll flourish. I have multiple Pagoda Dogwoods around. The birds love the seeds and nearly always beat me to collecting for planting.
beautiful leaves.
I have ordered several plants online and this was by far, the worst. It came with no leaves and just a 4” tall stem.
Plant died within days, and I'm a pretty experienced gardener.
