Has anyone else planted these around their pond? I bought a few for $1 each at Lowes and they seem to be thriving. The blue flower one is a Blue Daze Evolvulus. The peanuts have little yellow flowers and have grown just in the last 2 weeks.

Don't know about those cuties :)
Looks like they will be a nice pretty sprawling ground cover tho. Are they tucked in your sissy socks?

Very pretty, tropical plant, down to 7b, so they should do fine for you

I love the tiny yellow flowers. I really hope it survives the winter. I'm wondering if I shouldn't pot it for winter and put it back in the pond in the spring. And j.w let me know if you here anything. I really want to thank her for her ingenious sock idea.

If we hear anything it will be from @CountryEscape letting us know here if she was able to contact her somehow.

T leave a little sprig of the plant to overwinter by the pond and take some in so you can see if it will survive out there. You will be the guinea pig :)

Plants seem to be able to handle temps colder than what they say is the lowest.
