- First: Know your plants – Most important, are the plants mature heights and widths. Knowing this will be very useful especially if you are using plants of differing heights..
- Second: Know your light – If your bed is in uneven having more light on one side than on the other you can adjust your plant spacing to reflect the more rigorous future growth on the lighted side to make the beds look more even. Make note that you will need to water that lighted side more often than the shaded area as well.
- Third: Use one of these calculators to help you buy the proper amount of plants.
- Fourth: Only buy as many as you can plant
Figuring out plants and spacing is only worth if you actually get the plants in the ground. Never buy more than you can plant. I hate to see dying plants still in their containers because their owners bit off more than they could chew. Don’t under estimate the time and energy it takes to properly install your plants. Call a professional in when the job is physically too much or too time consuming.
