A Sea of Sedums

A Sea of Sedums

This was taken in @sedumzz 's yard... he ordered a whole tray of sedums, and I, like any cuckoo plant person would have done, went and thought "wow this would be an amazing banner"

Very nice sedumzz.. creative colorful grouping of sedums…

What a cute potpourri of sedums. Plant size is perfect for the banner.

A very impressive banner.

Who knew that sedums could be so colorful and so interesting on top of it? Beautiful banner!

Lush and lovely banner today!

Wonderful menagerie of sedums!

It's such a cute banner!! 🤩 🤩🤩

Jeboba, well done! Love Love Love this banner!!

Nancy, welcome to the party! Sedums are great!!

Everything in this post ends with an exclamation! It's not screaming, it's enthusiasm.

I love all the textures, so beautiful! I keep trying to plant sedum and the bunnies keep eating it…

hylotelephium or regular groundcover-type sedum? hylo-s might fare better against bunnies

Sedumz, are all of those hardy @ your location? Did you choose each species or was it a predetermined arrangement? If you feel like naming the ones in the pic, that would be fun. ...and when is your next garden showing? : )

I've been putting in regular ground over ones as I wanted a variegated carpet between the stones on the path in Upper Garden. Do the Hylos come in low ground hugging format?

All are hardy!
Original composition had Sedum acre, sexangulares, Sedum album. I added some more phedimus.

Aha, thank you! I think I need all of these.

Hylotelephium do have a few more low-growing species (The sunsparklers, especially). This is the best one fitting your needs (Hylotelehpium): Sunsparkler Lime Twister. Sedum (Hylotelephium SunSparkler® Lime Twister)
Hylotelephium will bloom nearly every year, so will brighten up the area a lot. Most are upright, bushy forms. Sunsparkler tend to stay more low.

But hearing where you want them I'd reccomend Phedimus. I think spurius 'Tricolor' would do ok, but seeing where you are (zone 6a) it might die back to nubs every winter, so it would be interesting to experiment with it. Phedimus kamtschaticus 'Variegatum' is probably the best choice, it is more hardy. Out of the kams, Phedimus kamtschaticus Atlantis™ is my favorite one.

Sedum lineare 'variegatum' will also work, but is a little more prostrate.

I hope this helps ! ! !

Yes, if you are in zone 7+ these (hardy) sedum will definitely be hardy for you. Zone 6 and below is where some hardy sedum start being less hardy, mainly just Phedimus spurius.
