I got a great deal on the 4 packs of flowers. I want to plant them today and was wondering if I had to break the packs up, or can I plant them in a cluster of 4. So can I just pull them out of tha plastic container and plant them as a bunch?

I have always broke them apart before and I think they look so thin then, but I am afraid that if I keep them as a cluster they will overcrowd each other.

Thanks for any input.

I like to gently loosen the roots before planting. They get off to a better start.

Perennials I'm more careful with spacing.

I only put perennials in my beds. Those I space out more. I just finished planting 27 pots. Thankfully I only have one more to do another day.
