I suppose there's not enough demand to make a special product for it. But I'm glad you're able to get it there too!

Here is another great idea for adding interest to Hypertufa



Creative types (not me) could do all sorts of interesting mosaics to match the plants

That is a pretty plant and pot.

Calin,

While not a typical hypertufa mix, one of my favorite recipes that are light functional and creates a great look are 2 parts fine vermiculite to 1 or 1and a half parts Portland Cement.

Wow, love that oxalis container.

Well David, would that mix survive freezing winters outside?
That would be what I want. Pots I can keep outside no matter what

They can be taken into shelter or garage. Try to keep them from filling with moisture. Thats when they freeze and break apart

New semps planted.Gifts for GF's and Sister

chickhill said:Thank you Bev. have been checking on Little Missy and her sister. Scratching around in top of soil lightly in case I disturb any signs of life but no luck yet. 46 sedums with most in hypertufa pots Linda

Ogon pot still dead. Little Missy is not winter hardy in 7a

Jo Ann, those are going to be wonderful when they fill in. Do you get spring rains? That will really wake them up and set them to growing.

Chickhill, don't give up on the Ogon. It can be late coming out of dormancy. I just saw signs of my S. makinoi 'Limelight' waking up. I was so excited.
Bummer about your Little Missy.

Lynn, some are new plants and others are babies from areas where the parent died.
I was so lucky to find Odity as my GS covered them with a layer of compost plus I forgot where I had planted it.

Yes we get spring rain but the average temp is mid 40's.
I found Tricolor sedum surviving in a planter that DD has.

Glad to see it.

That is amazing that the Oddity survived being buried under compost. One tough semp.
The Tricolor has proven to be a tough sedum for me, but then I don't get the winters you get. So glad yours came through for you.

Spring rains really seem to get things off to a good start in the growing department.

Hi David, how does your garden grow.

My tufa planters are matuering. Some of the transplanted sedum didnt make itbut there is always next year.
Dish planter with seline verigate, semp oddity,

Armeria is opening in the red planter



Delosperma,Campanula and saxafragea

Very nice combinations Jo Ann!

That is my favorite silene. Did it make it through your winter.
They are all looking really good Jo Ann.

Lynn, no the seline is a new plant.Ask me next year.
It sure is a show stopper.
My little semp and alpine areas on the deck are shaping up great.Thanks for all your advise.

You do such a great job of staging plants, and growing them on. I love being able to watch the progress of the containers, through your photos. It amazes me how fast they take off after planting.
