Enter your bed and spacing. See a layout drawn to your numbers, in square or staggered rows.
How it works
Each plant takes spacing × spacing in square rows, and 86.6% of that in staggered rows. Divide bed area by it.
Before you order
- Space for mature size, not the size in the nursery pot.
- Staggered rows fill ground covers in faster.
- Leave room at the bed edge so plants do not spill onto paths.
