3 PLANT SPACING CALCULATORS We recommend planting 4 pots of bedding plants on 8-10 centers (the center of one plant to the center of the other). This spacing will allow for adequate air circulation and will allow the plants to grow in together creating a nice mass of color. Spacing can be greater for 4.5 and 6 pots or for spreading type plants like wave petunias. MULCH CALCULATOR
