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:

Arrives as young plant
I'm usually super happy with my Great Garden purchases but this one fell short. It was TINY when it arrived. Even with very careful tending through the winter it didn't survive. It never grew. Just shrank away to nothing.
I love my candycorn double play spirea, the colors are magnificent.
I've had this shrub for a couple of years now. It arrived healthy and transplanted well. It has established relatively quickly. The only downside (and it's a major one) is that the main selling feature - the rainbow of new growth color - is almost non-existent. This shrub is pitched as a colorful then blue-tone shrub, but it's really just a standard green shrub with white flowers with just a tiny bit of color on new growth.
We're sorry you're unsatisfied with your plant! As noted on our product page, new growth will emerge green, but as the shrub ages with that new growth, the foliage will begin to take on more of the blue tones you are expecting! We would love to investigate further. Please send photos and your order number to claims@greatgardenplants.com, where one or our friendly customer service team members will be waiting to assist you further.
Plants arrived in April and I planted the next day. They are growing great and I am waiting for blooms. Great little plants.
Beware. They did not ship what I ordered (Blue Kazoo) but substituted Glow Girl spirea instead.
