I find the sunsparkler sedums do pretty well for me overall. Most of these pictures are from new plantings. The seem to be adjusting well

@valleylynn, they did well in Indiana. I'm assuming they will still do well here in our sandy soil. You definitely see them a lot more in local garden centers here.

So far they have all proven to be very attractive and hardy plants.

These little hardy Sedums do well here too, but I can't keep them from getting covered up by weeds and fallen leaves unless I keep them in pots.

Very nice, Daniel. My favorites right now are the 'Lime Twister' and 'Lime Zinger'. Love those two for growth habit in my raised beds. I don't have 'Blue Pearl' anymore, left it at the old house. Just didn't have room here for it, but I absolutely love that 'Blue Pearl'.

Alex, I think I have 'Sapphire Tuffet' in bed #1. I'll have to check on it.

Sapphire Tuffet has been one of my favorite ones. It's officially full scale release will be next year according to Chris's Facebook, but they did send some out as part of retail ready sizes and will have some plugs for growers too later this summer.

I just checked, I have 'Jade Tuffet', I've had it for a number of years. It is definitely a keeper for me. I can't believe I've not taken photos of it. Wait, I found a photo taken May of 2022.

I have a couple of others, but it was just to hot to stay out there any longers. I have 'Blue Elf' and 'Dream Dazzler'. The 'Blue Elf' is doing well. The 'Dream Dazzler' is not happy, I will have to move it into better soil.

Glad you like them Alex. Which ones do you have?
I really miss my 'Blue Pearl'. It gets to big for my small space. It really is a mush have if you have space.

I'll check which ones I still have. Maybe sometime this fall I will buy a lot of sunsparklers. Sometimes Merrifield puts them on sale because of the spent blooms. Every fall for species like telephium, I shear them back and root the spent scapes.

I have realized I love 'Wildlife' in the series. I have it growing in 4 spots already around the yard. It will probably be 5 or 6 next year when I remove more of those hostas.

Wildfire is a beauty for sure, Nathaniel. I had it in Dallas, OR, but for some reason did not move some up here to the new place.

Firecracker leaves look like metal when the light reflects at a particular angle of of some kind of "inner glitter." Either my camera just won't capture it or I'm not holding it in the right spot. Anyway, it's really cool!! Anybody else noticed that? : )
