Planting Tips

Square Grid

Best for formal gardens and geometric designs. Easier to maintain and weed between rows.

Staggered/Triangular

Provides ~15% more coverage and creates a more natural, filled-in appearance as plants mature.

Linear/Hedge

Perfect for borders, hedges, and property lines. Use double rows for denser screening.

Mass Planting

Creates naturalistic drifts and meadow-style landscapes. Includes buffer for natural variation.
