I can't do it now......I'll miss their blooms.....won't I? I'm still tempted! Whistling

Ooh! I bet I can find asters somewhere locally. A shopping we will go! Big Grin

I'm incorrigible when it comes to plants! Hilarious!

My asters...sans Sedums. (Last years pix.)

Wow! I just noticed how much more filled in that bed is this year! Here it is now.

Wow that really did fill in. Is that where you put your bog garden? Tall sedum would be gorgeous with the above asters.
I can just see you doing the jig. Rolling on the floor laughing Thumbs up

Thank you so much Linda! Smiling

Yes, the bog garden is in there too. The elephant ears are in the center of it. Here's a link to updated pix of the bog garden experiment. Chelle's Bog Garden Thumbs up
It turned out okay....only a couple of the carnivorous plants went "belly-up" and I also ended up removing the calla lily.

That area floods in the spring and it retains moisture really well. I'm not sure if the sedum would care for it. I have that long bed bordering the driveway though and I've been wanting some upright sedum in it for a few years now. I can see it from my deck.

It is amazing how fast that has filled in Chelle, it's beautiful. Your correct, the sedum definitely wouldn't be happy there. Can't wait to see pictures off it growing along your driveway. That will be beautiful.
This is S. 'Brilliant', it has about the same flower color as S. 'Autumn Joy', just a lot shorter plant.

Hello all! DeeJay was bragging about the Sedum forum so much that i had to come check it out. I will probably lurk for a while (if that's okay). I want to learn everything think I can. I'm a new Sedum lover. LoL
