Create a solid hedge by planting 2 feet apart on center. You’ll measure from the center of one to the center of the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlow Girl can also be used as a filler plant to brighten up wide, open spaces. Use a staggered, zig-zagging planting pattern, 2 feet apart on center. Mulch between plants and keep new mass plantings weeded until the plants grow together and touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also consider it a bedding plant and use it in the middle of rectangular planting beds. Edge with small Baby Gem Boxwood for a formal look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause this shrub is very low maintenance, it should be considered for use in commercial landscapes. \u003cstrong\u003eGo big and bold with this brightly colored shrub to grab attention\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlant them in large outdoor containers for a dramatic look.

Northern gardeners can plant in a full sun position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSelect a location with well-drained soil. Glow Girl Spiraea adapts very well to many different soil types.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive new plants and container plants a moderate amount of water on a regular basis.
