We all have some Heuffelii's in our gardens... right? What do you think about 'em? Color? Form? Habit?
I'm somewhat new to these but it seems to me they tend to grow into tightly packed spheres requiring invasive surgery to maintain them. Is that really true?
I guess if horizontal space is at a premium, Heuffelii's might make alot of sense.
More maintenance required? What happens if you don't maintain them?
They do seem to have coloration that is limited compared to their semp cousins, but those colors can be striking and unavailable elsewhere. They also seem to have some translucency almost like glassy artwork.
They also sometimes "raise their hands in the air" so to speak which create a very unique and attractive display in one's garden. I think combining this among Sedums would be spectacular.

So... what do you like... or dislike... or just observe... about the Heuffelii crowd?
