bugleweed

I have bugleweed!

Just bought eight plants from a gardener nearby in Vienna. Anxious how they'll do being transplanted in this heat (see how parched my lawn is, in the background?). Right now they're sitting in a row where I intend to plant them, in shade under a tree fronting the hostas.

I've wanted this plant ever since I lived in the split level house.

I hope it thrives and spreads and I can edge more shady spots in my yard with it. But will have to water daily for a while until it cools off or rains again. Where is the rain?
