Yes, as I look around my various semps I can see a few leaves here and there that are changing color or have shriveled. I seriously doubt there's a problem as these plants appear quite healthy. It seems like a normal situation.

I have it all over my beds of semps Tim. It is normal for them to have bottom leaves die, especially in the summer heat/drought.

At the Salem Perennial sale I mentioned semps for sale at Al's in Woodburn. Someone asked what sort of stuff they had but it was hard to describe. I was there today and took a few pics. These semps look amazingly robust. Just the right thing if you don't want to wait for a little one to grow up. These were marked $4.49 each which seems pretty reasonable to me, but I was only charged $3.59 for the one I bought. All NOIDs and you're not likely to find any of your "must haves".

Nice catch Tim, and a 20% off sale. Great way to fill in rock walls, etc if you don't care about names. Some great looking sedum also.

Tim, what size pots were those semps in? If they were the gallon size (6"dia) pots, $4.49 is a great price. I usually see those for 5.99 and up.

They're not gallon sized. They're 5" diameter, 4.5" height.
