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:

While vines may look effortless as they scamper over structures, many of them benefit from extra training to grow just the way you like. We'll break it down for each type, and even include examples from some of our great gardeners.
I live in Maryland. In Fall 2022 I ordered a Still Waters clematis and when it arrived it was big and healthy. I planted it right away and in 2023 it put off just one bloom but lots of green growth. In 2024 it is putting off tons of flowers. It is definitely disease resistant and is the most easy-care and quick growing clematis we have. The flowers are so lovely!
Healthy and growing like crazy. Can’t wait to see how it winters.
Can’t wait to see the blooms!
Looks great!
