Good! Check the drainage in the pot (make sure it has some!) and if it has to stay pot-bound, take a look at the root structure and maybe pot it up into a bigger pot if you can. Go 2-4” larger in pot size; that should be fine for a patio plant that you’re just going to enjoy this season...unless you can ‘re-home it’ come end of summer. ;)

If you’re seeing a LOT of roots all close together, score it as I suggested earlier before re-potting. She’ll thank you for it! :)

A bigger pot might be achievable.

I do thank you for all the advise!

It would have struck me as pitiful to say so a few years ago, but I’m amazed at how taken I am with plants and the birds that hang out at our birdhouse now. A nice realignment of priotities.
