sedumzz's blog: Sempland Reno Part 1 | 8/28/2022

Here is my first update on the Sempland renovation.
Currently I have two and a half sections done. Each section needs to be raised in order to fit the height of the retaining wall.
The first to be finished was pastel-ville, which is composed of NoID purples and lavenders from Webesemps (Thanks!) and Lilac time. Pacific Lassie is one of the last pastels to be included, it's on the edge of pastel-ville and near the blob of Phedimus kam, haven't raised that part yet. This area also have bits of neon Sedum and fuzzy/webby semps. This includes cilosium and some other webby ones. Also included Phedimus spurius tricolor.

The second part to be finished is green-ville, which is mainly composed of green semps. These include Pluto, Gamma, Waldalina, and a bunch more that I can't remember right now. It also includes Hylo sieboldii in the back, which won't have other plants next to it. I also plan to move a lot of green NoID's into this area, and Delo nubigem. Currently, the only non-green in Pacific Devil's Food, which I put in there for contrast (It is next to pastel-ville, next to Phed tricolor, which is a nice transition). It will be fun to see if there are any fun color changes in the winter. I also included 3 species of rollers. All three green, one of them has small red tips. I am going to raise the Sedum ternatum lane, which will hopefully explode with flowers soon.

The last partially finished part of todays work is lump-land, which is composed of lumpy colonies. Includes Orostachys Keiko, Orostachys malacophylla, Sedum tokyo sun, and will include lemon babies, Red Pluche. Going to add Artemisia tiny green to it.

**Both lump-land and green-ville are adjacent to the large Artemisia. I have not planted anything next to the Artemisia, because it spreads a lot.

Hylo-Highway has not been started yet, but this is because I haven't gotten to it yet. Going to start work on Hylo-Highway later today. It'll consiste of the largest Hylos, with the tall ones in the center (Adjacent to the pomegranate) and shorter ones to the side. This will hopefully halt the constant munching of the deer. Maybe we'll get some blooms next year!

Other areas I plan to make will be Fuzz-ville, and red-ville. I will be using my large colonies of Sedum lineare and similar Sedum to transition to the more "regular" flower bed in the back. Ai.

Anyways, it's WAY too hot to work outside right now. After just an hour of being outside I'm convered in sweat. Maybe once the sun goes down I'll continue. I will also be taking the hose out and water some of the plantings later.

Anyways, that's it for now. :-)
