how far apart to plant purple fountain grass?

Question

I recently purchased (3) 1-gallon pots of fountain grass. I would like to plant them in my yard, and would like to know how far apart to plant them. Thank you.

Answer 1

Spacing is more often a matter of personal taste than of rules. There is no right or wrong. As a general rule however, place them as far apart as their eventual height. For instance, grasses that mature at 3 feet tall should be planted 3 feet apart from center to center.
