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:

I ordered this Hosta with 3 others and wow I'll amazed. Not only do the plants look great but they were packaged beautifully and came in 2 days!! This will be my first place to order from now on!!!
So far so good. It arrived in great shape. It has been in the ground for 5 days and doing well.
My Hostas are already doing great. I'm really looking forward to how much better they'll look a year from now. Great buy
Plant arrived in great shape. Hasn't grown much but I'm assuming there 8s some root growth happening early on.
Hello! Thank you for leaving a review. You are correct in that the plant is allocating energy to root growth. When transplanting young plants from a nursery pot to a garden, the plant allocates more energy to root development instead of shoot development (above ground). It's important for them to develop a robust root system so they can actually absorb the nutrients and water in the soil around them. Then after their root system is more developed they'll invest in their shoots and flower development. Happy Gardening!
