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
The plant was shipped perfectly and is in the ground and starting to thrive!
I got the 1st flower today!
All plants were beautifully packed and since planting they are all thriving!
I bought seven of these plants and they were 4 times their size by Fall. Sadly not one of them made it through the winter and we are in zone 8b, the Pacific Northwest. My sister bought 2 and hers died as well. Also the 1st review I left has never made it this site along with the 5 pictures I sent them.
We're sorry you had trouble with you're plants. We are currently looking into your previous review, and it looks like you may have left it under Estrellita™ Scarlet Firecracker Bush instead of Estrellita Little Star™ Firecracker Bush. You can see your posted review on this product page: https://bit.ly/seeyourreview Referring back to our first response, this shrub thrives in well-drained soils, and this is especially important over the winter. Adding mulch for winter adds insulation, but it also locks in moisture and keeps your plant wet, which is a problem for this shrub! Usually, the browning of this shrub indicates overwatering or poor drainage. If your area experienced a wet winter, than this would cause the shrubs to not return the following year.

So far so good! Just planted and awaiting red flowers!
