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:

On opening the box, these poor plants were broken, needed extensive trimming of dead and broken flowers and leaves and stems. Other than receiving miss handled products, and I think you need to change the people who ship your goods, these were so sad looking, two of them are reduced to just the main stem. Hopefully, they’ll come up next year. I had a pile of stems and flowers and leaves on the table where I attempt to remove the plastic wrapping. Underneath the wrap you find broken pieces of the plant. I think also there’s gotta be a better way of wrapping them because they have to be handled so much to get rid of all that plastic and the giant staple that hold it together. I this is overdone.

as of right now they are not showing any sign of growth.
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.
