A year cycle in the life of ...... at Mooring Hitch Planted in bed #1 West yard. This plant perform well, too well that it spreads fast with underground roots. I did not want a ground cover in that bed, there for I move it to a spot on “The Orchard “ where it can prosper. The plant has been there for years, existing without care and doing well.
