valleylynn said:This just might be my favorite new sedum for the year. I planted it about 2 weeks ago and it is already growing like crazy.


Ron, how did the hair cut experiment go?


Lynn, Twister is a beauty, will put that on my wish list.

It seems like it is selling out everywhere. Hopefully more of them will show up.
Maybe Chris @SunSparkler can point us in the right direction to find this plant?

Hello everyone. I have so enjoyed reading this thread. Besides collecting daylilies, I love sedum and can't wait to find Lime Twister. I have many ground cover types and saw one yesterday that I hope someone can identify for me. It has tiny swirls of green edged in red, and the flower buds were golds and oranges. The colors were darker than so many others, and it was sort of like looking at a plant just before sunset or dusk.
Can someone tell me the most reliable places to purchase sedum, and also a site for identifying some of those I have.
Thanks so much

Hi Karen.
Can you show us a photo of your sedum. It sounds lovely.
Here are a few sedumnurserys:
SMG
Youngs Garden Center
Perennial Obsessions
Great Garden Plants
Mountain Crest Gardens.

I have sedum from all of the above sources and have been very happy with them.

I have bought another sedum with the name of Silver. Wonder if it will turn out to be Sandy's Silver Crest. Planted now watching.

I don't think it is Sandy's Silver Crest, but it sure is robust and pretty.

Finally got my sedum bed weeded. Some are doing too well and others struggling.
