A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Plants and Flowers Forum sedum

I thought we had a thread going on sedum plants, other than Diane's variegated sedum - I didn't want to hijack that one with green leaved ones - but couldn't find it so I'm starting one here.

This is my first sedum - it has gotten HUGE! I will divide it next spring and spread it throughout the new pond gardens that I'm hoping to have up and growing by then.
This is just a small section of this plant in bloom today.


Share your sedum here?

Very pretty, that's another plant that I have never tried. How cold hardy are they?

Here is a picture of my Autumn Joy taken after dark.


I love the frosty morn I want One!

I have one that is similar to the Autumn Joy only has a pink blossom does any one know what it's name is?

Ladyslipper

I have the pink like that also.
Name ??????????

I think the white is kool Cindy.......

Mine is very hardy.zone 5.

ladyslipper; if your Sedum is a pale pink it could be: "Matrona"
"brilliant" is pink aging into rust red
"Neon" is a bright-bright" pink

The "Ruby Glow" looks pink to me in the picture but my plant catalog says it is ruby red--oh well.

do you think any of these color discriptions match your plant?

Thanks for the names. I think mine must be Matrona. I want one of the Frosty Morn soooooo bad. It will be on my shopping list this spring!!!!!!

This looks like Autumn Joy too.

That looks like my color too..
I actually call it Sherbert ......Reminds me of sherbert ice milk.

That's a good name Dodge. Let's call it sherbert.

Sounds good to me. :ding:

nice picture Bestofour! Very pretty! I love the sedum in a row like that. Great idea.

I have tons of Sedum. If you have them and want more Lynne all you have to do is snip off some stems about 6-7 inches long...take off the bottom few leaves and stick it in the ground. I've spread them all over my yard and moms by doing that!

Thanks loz - I have actually done that many times, and shared cuttings too.
When I said that was my first sedum, I meant that it was the very first one I ever bought. I have many many more since then - they can be addictive, right?!?

i have a couple of sedums. if i take pics, can someone tell me how to overwinter them? i think i got them from diane

:ding:

Sedums I have are hardy........I never dig them out ..
Unless theirs are different.

Mine stay outside all winter. Come back too.

b

i'm hoping, 'cause i'm not up to digging out!

Jiffy, I leave mine alone too. So far they've come back - even more than the year before.

Same here, Jiffy - I don't do anything to mine other than cut the browned stalks to the ground. They do come back fuller each year.
