18" is a good rule of thumb, but I gotta agree with Randy. Those dang things put out so many pups they'll fill in the the space between pretty quick. If you got 2, in a year you'll have 8+. Two years, -plenty. You'll have a full mat before you know it. If your in an area where you'll be digging up your blood ,then put em together and put the bloods some where in the future when the Basjoo's take over. Some of it is personal preference also. I like all my plants packed together (European garden style) so you can't see the ground while others prefer to have a distinct spot for each nana. And no, Bloods like sun. They can tolerate shade but will stay small and may have less color.
