Plant Spacing

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:

Micro bushes

These bushes are so small that should be called micro bushes

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 customerservice@butterflybushes.com to start the claims process if necessary. https://butterflybushes.com/pages/our-plant-sizes

Very, very tiny plants!

The website does say that this will "arrive as a young plant" but I was very surprised how small these "bushes" were. I purchased 3 plants and one looks pretty healthy; the other two have some brown leaves and areas where leaves have fallen off. I purchased a gallon-sized plant of this variety for the same price as these plants, but wanted more as they are so pretty. I really hope that these live and that they will really grow!
