Hi, it should have been planted at the same depth as it was in it's pot, the soil at the top of the pot level with the soil in the garden, I would suggest that you scrape away some of the gravel, and your friend is right, it's only frost hardy, which means it can stand temperatures down to 23 deg f, any lower than that, without protection, and you will lose it, Derek.
