If it is the ordinary sort then short of a mulch of brick and concrete
it will not make any difference how you plant them. The variegated form
is a little bit more tetchy but the normal form is borderline invasive.


For some I tried at least half a dozen times and never got more than A
year out of them, but a few miles awat there used to be a house where
they had removed the front wall so they could park on the front "Garden"
Despite the cars etc ot was just solid with "Valley".
