I am very fond of Sedums in general. They are tougher than they look, easy to grow and offer a nice textural contrast to some of my other garden favorites. Last fall, I picked up a Sedum ‘Angelina’ on sale and stuck it on the corner of the newest extension of the front garden. I can tell you for sure that I will have my sights set on more of the them during my plant shopping this spring.
This is how it looks this week. It’s hardy to zone 3 and spreads out to about 16 inches or so, stays low to the ground, and would spill nicely over the edge of a container. It starts out green-yellow-chartreuse in the summer and then goes all of the lovely colors above from fall through spring. I think I have a new favorite…
Found this from Pinterest, and now I’ll be looking for this one this spring!
Donalyn, I love that chartreuse and gold sedum too. It’s a winner all around. I also found one this spring, new to me, ‘Chocolate Ball.’ I’m giving it a try.~~Dee
Glad you came by Abigail!
Dee – I will have to look for that one – sedums are such useful plants!
I also love this one, specially the amazing colors it gets into in the colder weather!
Wow – that is really pretty!
