I agree
I've been looking for some new ones to add to my collection this year. I have a couple new ones from last fall that are evergreen, and have done very well over the winter.
I got these last week.




These are the new ones from last year.
Hope this one made it through the wet winter/spring this year.

This one has grown over the winter.

I took this photo this morning. So many ways to use our sedum/petrosedum. The little miniature type bulbs grow right up through the ground cover sedum. I am definitely goin to be adding more species tulip, tiny daffodils and other of the tiny iris this way. Now on to search for more these amazing bulbs. Hurray!

Thank you Greg, it makes me smile every time I see them.
And they are prolific multipliers. I really love the purple against the gold/green of 'Angelina'.

Sedum 'Lime Twister' is coming out of dormancy with a colorful bang. First winter for me with this plant, if you call what we had this year a winter. But it made it through a very wet and relatively warm winter. Both colonies are lovely. One planted in a container, the other in one of the holes in a raised bed. All the sedum are waking up and starting to show such promise.

Do you have it Chris? It is the sweetest sedum, with that lovely coloring all growing season. It needs sun to keep that coloring, it will turn more green without enough sun.

Yes Bev, it is definitely a hardy sedum. Remember Chris Hansen bred it for Michigan winters. Hurray!

Chris I look forward to seeing photos of yours when it comes out of dormancy. Smiling

Julia great photos with your new camera. I see you and the camera are becoming friends. Green Grin!
How is you S. 'Pinky' doing?

I need to go out and see if my 'Pinky' is looking pinker now.
I did not know there was a 'Winky'. Very nice Julia.
