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:

Say goodbye to your winter blues! With sunny days and warm temperatures on the horizon, we can tell that spring is right around the corner. When you see these flowers, you know spring is in full swing. Here’s a list of our favorite tried-and-true spring-blooming plants to help celebrate the seasonal transition.
The description of a one-quart pot is very misleading. I ordered five plants, all of them were TINY, like 2-4" of growth above the soil line. Usually stores use a one-quart pot for plants that are 6-8" tall. They seem to be healthy so, hopefully they grow in okay. Just MUCH smaller than expected.
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.
Came with partially dead branches. Hasn't grown much yet.
Thank you for your feedback! It’s surprisingly normal for newly transplanted plants to appear like they aren’t growing. That’s because most of the growth occurs below ground in their first year as they allocate more energy to root development. Once your plant is established, it will start investing more in shoot and flower development. If you are concerned about the health of your plants, please contact our customer service team with photos of the plants. We look forward to assisting you!
Arrived stressed but has since recovered nicely. Now for patience watching it grow and bloom.
I can't wait until it grows and sees it bloom. I have a full grown, regular size Magnola tree and I love it. I want this one in my backyard because it's not supposed to get as large.
I love the looks of the foliage,the plants young but growing pretty fast. Looks great, can't wait to see flowers next year.
