It's best planted in groups rather than clumps. Usually though I do space the stems out very slightly to give them 'growing room' (when I have grown it, usually I avoid it as it grows way way way too fast and isn't nice enough to warrant the work of keeping it pruned), but plant in groups of at least 5 stems for the best effect (odd numbers look better for some reason).

Thanks for the reply. I only have about 5 stems so i'll plant them all together.

I've started planting mine around 1'' apart; the growth all the way down the stem is much better. The stem gets much thicker, too.
