I should have thought (isn't it always the case) that not all landscape plant suppliers "know it all". I.E. last yr. my Mazus Reptens didn't make it thru our frozen tundra here in Green Bay, WI. This yr. my source's plant experts told me that Hutchinsia Alpina is hardy enuf and because it grows almost Anyplace it will be ok.

My Double Bird's Foot-Lotus Corniculatus did survive and it is beautiful.

Now for my panic attack: I sprinkled sand between the three above mentioned plants thinking 'cause they all crawl, that they wouldn't recoil in disgust of such Common, & the to them, the Lowest form of earth. My heart is pounding in horror that I murdered all my plants with the sand sprinklings in-between them to eliminate the mud. Am I depriving them of the quality soil they MUST have? OR, horror of horrors, Croak Altogether. I'll lose sleep over this one kiddies. HELP! I need enlightening. I await relief and peace of mind ASAP. Jaemy
