I’m glad that you are doing better, and able to maybe get out a bit and do some gardening. It’s good for the soul.
I am not familiar with that particular plant, nor have I seen it in any of the catalogs that I have gotten. I am beginning to think that the best bet on foundation plantings are to visit the places like Walmart, Home Depot etc. as the plants they carry usually will do well locally - assuming that is true for your area too.
I need something that does not attract deer and needs little water — nothing more than rain of which we get plenty. Otherwise I risk leakage into the basement.
I’d love to do dwarf blueberries, but then the deer would live in my flower beds! LOL.
I also need to do something about the soil. My husband filled those beds with “brown” dirt from a local supplier, and it is no good. Nothing grows in it very well.
