I have cuttings going but will pot some of those up as well. May not be worth it as you can buy this plant at lowes for 2.98.

It's always worth it. I'd be scattering it all over my yard.

Here's my question. Do sedum have the same growing conditions as do semps?

Marilyn, good question, (I'm guessing here, but think its right, however as some people say "I could be wrong!" :thumbsup:) I think semps with their rosette shape are more susceptible to rotting due to water, especially compared with the type of sedum that they're talking about here, which is similar to the rupestre in that they look like feathers or fir branches. I would guess that these sedums would be very carefree in pretty much any environment, with some shade from hot sun in summer (in locations that have high temps) That's my 2 cents!

I have some sedum varieties growing in my semp beds. The ones that handle drought and full sun. But many sedum do better with a little less sun and a little more water than semps. So you just have to experiment with how to use them in you particular growing climate.

Blue Spruce is one Sedum that does great with my Semps.

Yes, it is one that can do quite well in full sun and little water. S. lydium, S. 'Silver Stone', S. 'Ruby Mantle' are a few others that do well with semps.

love that photo Lynn!

That is Sempervivum 'Abba' with it. And I didn't plan that. I couldn't believe it when Abba colored up that spring. It was a match made in garden heaven.

Very nice Lynn!!

Thank you Greg. I'll have to send some home with you when you all come down for the Hybridizing Clinic.

Beautiful combo Lynn!

Thanks Chris, I can't take the credit though, it was an accident.

Now, now, we all know it's that plant magic that you possess! You do good even when you don't try!

It is fun when something accidentally turns out to make color magic. I can't seem to do that on my own, like some gardeners can. So I am always amazed and happy when one of the magical accidents happen.

I've had it happen myself a few times!

Lovely combo. I have planned a combo and it tuns out all wrong. Those plant tags are not the true colors of plants. Then I have just suffed what I have left over in a pot and WOW magic.
I think some times we plan to much. My fun garden is the, one of eachie, kind of planning. Anyway very beautiful!!
