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 am disappointed with the size of the plants. They looked healthy but they were pruned close to about 6 inches from the base of the plant. All three Rose of Sharon are struggling to recover. No new growths. Not sure if they make through. Very unhappy.
Hello! Referring to our previous response, please contact us with your order number and photos of the plants, and we would love to take a closer look. All orders are covered by our 60 day guarantee. We look forward to helping!
I ordered 4 Rose of Sharon in different colors. They arrived promptly and were packed well. The plants were beautiful and healthy. I hardened them off for a week on my patio and then planted them. They seem to be doing well. Very pleased!
Beautiful
These are nice if small plants, but I have been disappointed they had been recently pruned severely. They seemed shocked and have yet to sprout new shoots. That wasn't necessary for them to fit in the shipping carton. I suspect they were pruned so the cutting could be rooted for future sales.
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!
