I have done it, and it does work. Especially if plants are put in
too late to get a good root system, the brick or rock can prevent
frost heaving. Not the same situation as a building or highway, for
with a little rhizome there is plenty of expansion space for frozen
soil around the plant. The frost has someplace else to go. It's not
a myth, and I do it regularly.
