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:

bush distance

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:

Not blooming

I just purchased this season and only 1 of the 3 bloomed. Need help. Also all my bee balm died. I’ve had success with other things I’ve purchased. So not sure what to do to resolve this issue. Even pulled out bee balm in put in a pot to try and save them

We're sorry you're having trouble with your plants! It’s surprisingly normal for newly transplanted plants to appear like they aren’t growing. That’s because most of the growth occurs below ground in their first year as they allocate more energy to root development. Once your plant is established, it will start investing more in shoot and flower development. To learn more about how plants “sleep, creep, and leap”, read our FAQ here: https://bit.ly/FAQ-plant-growth. Our team of horticulture experts would love to take a closer look. Please contact claims@greatgardenplants.com with your order number and photos of the plants, and we would be more than happy to assist you! We look forward to helping! https://bit.ly/ggp-guarantee
