A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2004 Sedums

Hi Jillie
Here is my list so far.

Matrona
Purple emperor
Autumn joy
Frosty morn
Iceburg
Albo variagated
Vera jameson
Spuriums,tri color,variagted and dragons blood.

On my wants list are, Pink elephant,citrus twist
and a whole lot more.

I love the fact that they are so easy to propogate
and that they are so attractive to the wildlife.

So what do you have and what are you dreaming of having?

Oooh, oooh, you have some sedums that I don't have!

Here's a partial list of my sedums:

"Little Gem"
Suaveolens
Allantoides
Pachyphyllum
Furfuraceum
Morganaianum
Kirilowii
Moranii
Sarmentosum
Spurium (Dragon's Blood)
Palmeri
Craigii

I don't have them catalogued; I should...I don't know half of what I have without looking..
We also have other crassulas, graptos, echeverrias & some cacti & euphorbiums

My sedum wish list:
Obcordatum (It has flat, silver-blue leaves)
Mucizonia (Pink and fuzzy)
Versadense f. chontalense (Ghosty and fuzzy)

I LOVE the colors of succulents and their unusual flowers. Every day, something's going on in the garden; something's either blooming or sprouting babies. Love 'em! At last count, we had over 500..You can see some of them in our online album:

Is the Pink Elephant you want related to the Xrubrotinctum? They're that beautiful rosy pink..

Jillie,Pink elephant is a variagated form of Matrona,its a fairly new introduction,so it may be a while before i find a supplier over here,but if us gardeners have bucket loads of anything other than compost ,its patience.

Hmmmm Gotta look that one up..I'm sooo curious!

Citrus twist can be seen at www.avantgardensne.com.

pink elephant is from www.terranovanurseries.com

I LOVE the Citrus Twist... I couldn't find the Pink Elephant on the other site, though....going to go back and try again....

Thanks for those links.

I have just recently become very interested in sempervivums and sedums. They are wonderful in the hypertufa troughs I make.

I have just a few sedums. I think they are fairly common.

liveforever- pale pink
sieboldii
capa blanco
kamtshaticum variegatum
ternatum- wild native to Indiana and likes shade
sexangular Acre

Do you like sempervivums

I didn't realize there were so many different kinds of sedum. I planted 4 plants last year, but don't know what kind they are. Mine didn't stay pretty very long. Will they multiply?

Bestofour, they should send out babies, depending on your weather conditions...In my Sedum book, it says there are over 3000 kinds of sedums so far.


Rue, I LOVE semps, too! We have a few...

(still being wistful about not being able to go to the San Diego cactus & succulent society's annual sale next month....sigh)

Okay Jillie you didn't say it was a "SALE"....you said "SHOW"....are you trying to get me in trouble!!! :rolleyes:
