It did not take place.

The plan was put forward at the begining by the elderly General-in-Chief Winfield Scott, and it was immediately ridiculed by cartoonists as the 'Anaconda Plan', because it was like slowly squeezing the life out of the victim. (At that time, nearly everybody expected a short war.)

Later, when they found it wasn't going be a short war, the Union did go ahead with a plan that was very like it.
