Okay, time to transplant the Orostachy. I think some of them will find a new home in the wonderful hypertufa containers from Chris. Thumbs up

These have been out in the raised beds since last fall except for O. eburnifolia, as I was told it will not survive the winter with all the rain we have. I kept it on the deck under the roof.

I am finding that the slugs love the O. spinosus plants. The one I had out in the raised beds did well with our weather, until the slugs found it. They ate every last speck of the plant. Never touched the other varieties sitting right next to it.
