Hey, all the sedums are showing new growth and have woken up for the year. I cut off all the dead stalks last week from the fall as I leave them all winter around here. I do that on most of my plants, I do my garden cleanup in the spring.
Yesterday I ordered two more Purple Emperor plants as I have one. Then I found, quite by accident, I lovely really dark leafed one, even darker looking from the picture than Purple Emperor at Bluestone Perennials called Lynda Windsor. Ordered six of those as I know they send small plants there at Bluestone. But I haven't seen this one anywhere else.
Not quite sure were I will put the Lynda Windsor but the two Purple Emperor are going in a new narrow garden section in front of some serviceberry shrubs were I intend to put 5 sedum. Going to move 3 Matrona I already have there, then put the two Purple Emperor between them. Then leaving space between all of them I will put daffodil and tulip bulbs between all this fall. This way I have a nice early spring display which folliage all dies down by the time the sedum starts to gow. Then later in the fall I will have a nice group of sedum blooming.
