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 start of fall may signal the gardening season is coming to a close, but it’s not over yet! There is still plenty of time to enjoy colorful flowers and foliage or even sprinkle in some new perennials and shrubs before winter arrives.
Steady Eddie is a. Beautiful plant. All the plantsa that I ordered have been very healthy beautiful plants So far very satisfied
The plant is very healthy, although much smaller than expected. A few branches were broken in transit, but not an issue. Hopefully the spring will bring good things.
Hello! Thank you so much for your feedback. We're sorry you are not satisfied with your plants! We do note that all of our plants are young on each product page and on our plant sizes page https://www.greatgardenplants.com/pages/sizes.The size and maturity of the plants varies widely depending on the time of the year you purchased and if they were recently trimmed. The important thing when it comes to purchasing plants, whether online or in a garden center, is that they have a full, robust root system, and that's what we prioritize in our greenhouses. The more roots a plant has, the more energy it can put into growing once it is planted in your garden. We do keep our plants trimmed to encourage strong root development! Please email pictures of the plants to claims@greatgardenplants.com, making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible. Rest assured, we have a guarantee on all our plants. Our fall guarantee covers plants received after September 1 until May 2024! If you received your plants within that time frame, we would happily apply your warranty once we receive the pictures. Happy Gardening!

I realize that it is tough to ship live plants. The plants were a nice size and healthy. The problem is that during shipping, the plants were bouncing back and forth in the box, and a few of them were really smashed and broken on their tops. I did my best to remove the damaged parts and I hope they will recover.
We apologize that you received plants that are not up to our standards. While we try our best to provide exceptional service, some factors, like shipping and handling, are outside our control, and issues like this can sometimes happen.

I put the shrub in a planter for now to give it a chance to grow. So far it is doing great. Flower buds have formed and that tells me the root system is healthy. I will be placing the shrub in a large area later depending on its size by fall. I could delay til spring if I can protect the roots with cold protection during the winter.
Product arrived in fine shape, but between deer and 6A conditions, there wasn't a green leaf left after a few weeks.
Hi Kevin, We're sorry to hear that the deer enjoyed your viburnum before you could! It sounds like your plant is still alive. Unfortunately, once deer have found a meal in your garden, they are likely to return. The most cost effective solution is a deer repellent spray. You'll need to apply it periodically because they do tend to wash away with rainfall. Although no plant can truly be deer proof, we do have a variety of deer resistant plants in our Deer Resistant collection here: https://www.greatgardenplants.com/collections/deer-resistant
Happy Gardening!
