If all of my semps had roots like this 'Cherry Frost' I'd have no problems in life!🤣

Nice roots Daniel.

Wow, I never see roots like those on mine.

I think if mine that I lost in the early freeze had roots like that I would not have lost them. My established semps had no issues. Well except the one from Home Depot, it was a cute little webbie called Cebenese that had months to make nice roots, in 2 pots, both died

Teresa, me either!🤣 I think cherry frost must just be a good variety?
It was growing through the thick layer of coir that I didn't remove. I hope they all like their new soil.

Alice, don't you just love established semps? They are indestructible!

Not in North Texas. I have to do a good bit more to have semps at all The sun / shade requirements with our summer temps, the roof they need during our flooding rains, the watering they need during our drought. If I quit these things they would probably die

Heads up, Mountain Crest Gardens https://mountaincrestgardens.c... has added many semps to their available list.

And a large list of semps at Perennial Obsessions. https://perennialobsessions.co...

Here is SMG https://smgsucculents.com/coll...

Lynn, any plans to visit PO as a group this year? I would love to see everyone in one place again!

Great idea Connie.

@valleylynn, do you happen to know when MCG will be listing your new semps? I kept checking last year but never saw them. I could of missed them though.

They don't have enough yet. I'll try to remember to let you know.

Will be seeing how sempervivum like freezing rain when the ice finishes melting. Wasn't a huge amount, they had sleet first. The cold front didn't come in too fast and I blocked them for wind. the poorly ones got a perch on the ground with a roof (those would be the ones with aphids that got an accidental vinegar dose and a fast repot) but I didn't baby the rest.

They should be okay Alice. Mine have had that happen in the past.

thank you. I'll have to wait to find out. roads cleared a little, I went to post office, took 5 tries to get my truck back up hill into my driveway. We still have ice. I did not hit the garage

That is good news. We are dealing with ice in KY too. Roads are clear but it is still all over the trees and powerlines.
I put in my first order to In The Country Garden. A friend had ordered last year and was pleased with hers and ordering more.

Remember semps are from THE ALPS! They've seen much worse!

Good reminder Kevin. Semps in the wild know what ice and snow is.

Here I am in Fairfax, VA. Arrived last Wednesday to cold weather, but it is starting to warm up.
I hope to make a trip to the Merrifield Garden Nursery in Fairfax. Wondering what they have in the way of semps. I promise to take some photos and share them.
I might even be able to meet up with a group in Maryland, not far from Fairfax. Plant people are the best.
Hope all of you are well, and looking forward to spring.

Last time I checked (A few weeks ago) they didn't have much. Not much Sedum either. They had an interesting Achillea, Cerastium, and a few other fun alpines (Quite a bit of Veronica).
Though I haven't checked recently as I've been busy

Give my regards to your VA family Lynn! Wonderful people!

You are missing nothing exciting for weather here, just more rain and overcast. I need a Tahiti trip just for Vitamin D!
