The creeping spindle, also called spindle shrub or climbing spindle, is very robust, easy to care for and versatile. The versatility refers not only to the coloring of the foliage but also to the growth forms. The ideal planting distance varies accordingly.
The creeping spindle should not be planted too densely
If you want to plant the creeping spindle in a hedge, a distance of about 30 to 40 centimeters is recommended, and about 40 centimeters for grave planting. The exact distance depends, among other things, on the selected variety and the desired growth density. As a solitary plant, you can give your creeper a little more space.
The essentials in brief:
- Ideal planting distance: approx. 30 to 40 cm for hedge planting, approx. 40 cm for grave planting
- ideal planting time: spring or autumn
