Distance between penstomen when planting in my flower bed

Comment from Mark Palmer

Hi there all this sun is really bringing on my Penstomen Brabatus, I am thinking of planting them in my flower bed would about 10 inch spacing will be enough and is it better to put them in a row or bunched together or is that personnel preference.
