The Roots Look Amazing

Amazing
I order these this spring of 2023. Planted and had good success. All 5 made it. Gave 2 away. The 3 I have are beautiful striking plants with majestic flower heads that look like they will open soon. So exotic. They are among my orange and red coneflowers. The contrast will be great.
Coming along
I got 5 sprouting, health roots. Planted after amending soil with worm castings and voila! 3 weeks sprouting heartily in unseasonably cool temperatures. I'm looking forward to blooms next year

- Q
I am a very novice planter, I definitely am not a Gardner. For clarity, It says to plant 18" apart..I want to plant mine along a 50' (foot) wall it says I need 27. Do I really need that many? Am I planting them in two rows or just 1 every 18", that seems like to many.
- Asked by Renee
- Verified Reply - AngelaI'm not sure of the width of the bed. You can plant Beachside Blue Sea Holly in one row with 18 inch spacing. 50 feet is 600 inches. 600 inches divided by 18 inches means 33 plants with my math. If you plant them 24 inches apart, you will need 25 plants. Hope that helps.Was this answer helpful to you
