Grid pattern: 189 plants — $661.50Grid spacing places plants in straight rows and columns at 12" spacing. This is the simplest pattern to lay out and maintain.

Offset pattern provides better coverageAn offset/staggered layout fills space more evenly and reduces bare spots between rows. It needs 185 plants ($647.50) — consider switching if full ground coverage matters.

This is an estimate for planning purposes. Actual plant counts may vary depending on bed shape, obstacles, and mature plant spread. Always buy a few extra plants to account for losses during transplanting.
