Sedum grows so fast here in the ground,, so I decided to pot some of it up,, You'll see which ones grow fast because I have the same varieties basically potted up to keep from throwing it out,, it spreads like wild fire here,, In the tree in a half pot cactus%20and%20succulents/0805090014.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> In a strawberry pot cactus%20and%20succulents/0804260149.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> Broke back Willy carrying some of it.. cactus%20and%20succulents/0804260089.jpg" alt="[Linked Image]" class="post-image" style="height:auto!important;max-width:100%!important;"/> More below,,,,,,

Ok - I had a chance to get some pictures - I have a bunch of sedum and succulents in pots all around the yard. Didn't take pictures of the plain ones in blue pots by the pond though.
First are hens and chicks in a frog planter. They've been growing in this pot for years and "knock on wood" always come back each year.
I've also had this cat planter on this maple tree up by the mailbox for a few years. It is planted with sedum dragonsblood, which returns each year also.
Here is more sedum dragonsblood in a wall pocket that I made in pottery a few years ago.
And some newly planted sedum in another wall pocket that I bought

Thanks Diane! Yes, hens and chicks in the frog, and the yellow flower is a coreopsis which is in full bloom but just does not want to let me get a good picture of it!
