The article has been updated successfully but requires approval before it is published.Most people purchase way too many and over-plant their beds. “Instant landscapes” cost considerably more and in a few years will become a crowded mess to maintain. You should research the mature size of the plants you plan to use and then space them so they have room to grown into the area.
To help you decide which plants to use and how many, consult your Pinellas County Extension, the library, Internet, plant guides and reference books, knowledgeable nursery folks, and the University of Florida IFAS Fact Sheets.
