Have I planted these Phlox too close to each other?


I'm a gardening beginner and got this creeping Phlox, hoping it spreads. I was told to plant 50cm apart so I measured 50cm from the center of each plant. Is this correct? Or should I have planted them a bit further apart since they should creep and spread themselves?

    You can always thin them out when they grow into each other.
    Personally, I’d have planted in a zigzag, they’ll look more natural.

    Is the spread of the plant 50cm? Look it up on the RHS website to check what the spread will be. Picture the shape of a plant at maturity as a circle just to simplify things, and the spread of the plant will be the diameter of that circle. If it spreads to 50cm then you did right.
