Agree with Lynn But do watch your temps, if by any chance it will go triple digit on your side like it does here on our area, I prefer to keep them in part shade, since our location is just too hot and dry.

Good points tarev.

I'm pretty happy with the progress to date. Here's a bit of shot, some plants even marked , but most left up to the figuring. Just a bit of a snap, but it'll give you an idea of what I have going, and I know we all love pics.

Okay, now with feeling (and the pic)

Pretty and organized! Love it Sean

Love it Sean. It is laid out beautifully.

Very nice Sean!

We have had a rather mild winter here so far, many of the sedum are already starting to show signs of growth.
This one puts on a spectacular winter show with it's intense colors. There isn't a time of the year that it isn't a stand out. That is Petrosedum sediforme 'Turquoise Tails' to the left, tips I stuck in the ground the beginning of December. Looks like they are already well rooted.

I have some new sedum from last fall purchase. I'll try to get photos of them tomorrow. They also are evergreen.
Most of the dormant types are already showing new growth poking through the soil.

Lynn is Gold Select that color in the summer?

Cinta this is what the color is like in June.

Backing up a little bit... thanks for the good word. One of the concerns I had early in the season was the leggy tricolor sedum. I am happy to report that it has rebounded well, both that which I touched and that which I didn't. In my conditions, I've learned that untouched is just fine, provided that it comes with patience. Here's another, similar shot, that show the tricolor, bottom right.

Sure enough Sean, that is what that amazingly tough sedum does when it comes out of winter dormancy and gets going. How could anyone not love that sedum.

Sean I worried about tri-color the first year I planted after winter. I have had it for over 20 yrs It is one of the pretty sedum that can take a licking. I have some pretty harsh winters and I have it at the end of the driveway that all the snow and road salt is shoveled on top of it every year. There are not many of these new sedum that will take a licking like the old tried and true ones.

Lynn thank you. That is what the one I have looks like now. I do not know if I picked it up in one of those Lowe sales unmarked or it was in the combo sedum tile I purchased. I thought it was a struggling Angelic when it did not green up like the Angelic I have in the gardens.

Hmmm, my 'Angelina' never goes green. Is your in full/partial sun?
It can look similar to 'Gold Select'. Angelina is the one that you find at all the big box stores. Don't think I have ever seen 'Gold Select' in the big box stores?

The only time Angelic has that red color is Fall and winter. In the summer it is a bright yellow green.

I will take a pic of both tomorrow. I might have gotten this red one in one of those sedum tiles at my local nursery. I know it was not one I ordered or purchased with a name. They are in Sun all day from sun up to sun down.

Cinta I think you did get it in a tile for some reason I remember you posted about it (it was the first time I'd heard of them and hadn't noticed them in stores yet)
Also the tri color Sedum is a natural hybrid, so specie, and I would imagine they do better than other hybrids, just my opinion

That Gold Select looks just like my Angelina. Angelina is a nice plant. It grows any place I put it.

I agree with Clint, they do look very similar. I think the difference is that 'Gold Select' seems to keep color throughout the year.
Here is my 'Angelina' in morning sun only at the end of September. And it does show more green in these conditions.

Nice Sean. My Sedum Forsterianum Oracle is blooming nicely. For some reason I can't find it in the database even though I think I have posted photos of it there before. Is it one that goes by another name?

Good morning Susan. If you can't find it under the name you have try using the Database search engine and just type in Sedum Oracle. Some times names have been changes, or a misspelling, so shortening it down to just the genus and cultivar name will bring it up.
Sedum (Petrosedum forsterianum 'Oracle')

Love you photo.

Here are some of my hardy sedum's.

This is in a pea gravel path and see's light foot traffic.




This is in river rock.


These see a lot of rain and sub 20* temps.
