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
They left Michigan on a Tuesday and arrived on Thursday. I opened them within minutes of their arrival. The creepers were great out of the box but these were dead. I planted them anyway hoping they would come back to life but no such luck.
EDIT (4/2025): Thank you to Great Garden Plants for the replacements of the ones that died. But none of them made it through the winter. The roots are very shallow. I suppose it is my fault for thinking I could plant them in August (and September for the replacements) and think they could make it. Perhaps with an April planting they would have had a chance. I am going to run sod right up to the driveway and give up on these.
Looked sick when I got it and struggled for a while but pretty sure its dead now.

It's blooming nicely & I love the color! But, I still say, get rid of that stupid metal clip that you use when you ship plants. It's NOT necessary!
First one didn't make it. The weather was unusual and it may have been too early to plant. GGP replaced it without question. It is doing very well (as are all the other plants I ordered). I plan on using GGP in the future.
Growing nicely.
