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:

Well packed, healthy plants.
Even on sale this shrub is way over priced. The two that I received are very small, as are the Hostas and the fern I also ordered.The plant size page to which the customer assistance associate referred me mentions only the container size, and nothing about the size of the plant that’s being sent. I realize that the plants aren’t going to be mature when received; however, this is the first time that I’ve been surprised by how tiny the plants I received are. I have ordered from this company on multiple occasions, and this is the first time that I have been unsatisfied with my purchase. I don’t recommend buying this shrub.
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.
The Artic Red Dogwoods arrived in good shape. All were planted 4 weeks ago and are doing well.
