Kevin, Thanks for reaffirming my suspicion about cold hardiness this time of year when the plants are not hardened off. Your Borscht, Watermark King, and Helen Payne are three of my favorites in the short time I have had them. Really enjoy your book too.
sedumzz, Good suggestions but I am concentrating on the semps and Orostachys spinosa right now. We have very dry winters which is good, but often no snow cover for insulation and temperatures down to 35 below zero which might be an issue for all but the hardiest. I know many sedum are cold hardy, but not my favorite plants. This bed will be near many of our native prairie selections.
sedumzz said: SOunds like you like rosettes... have you checked out Rhodiola? Or rosularia... also good candidate.s
