| Have three of these to plant but have been unable to find information about their mature width...none of my books or internet searches have been any help. I expect they will be 2-3 feet tall but am not sure how far apart to plant them. If similar to Ceanothus americanus (New Jersey Tea) I would plant them 2 feet apart. Anyone have any experience/advice? I have cross posted to the native plants forum, it seems to be uncommon in the nursery trade. |

| Growth behavior of shrubs is not that fixed anyway. You can't read a representative spread for the species somewhere and then know that your planting will become exactly the same size. If you want them to touch, plant the same distance apart as you you think they will grow tall. Keep in mind that shrubs do not grow to a certain height and then come to a complete halt, while remaining vigorous and attractive. |

| We have a shorter growing season here and heavy soil, so growth is slower than in some areas. I agree that plants either continue to grow or decline/die but "expected" size when fully established is still helpful information for most of us. Have decided to try about 2 feet apart... |
