Hi folks,
I hope I am posting my question in the correct forum, but please forgive me if I'm not.
I have an area under an Eastern Redbud tree that receives alot of light. I tried planting Phlox, transcendentia – spiderwort, and dwarf Ruellia there last year, only for everyone to pretty much burn up with our hot summers (we had a number of days where the heat index was in the triple digits). I tried watering about every three days, but by the next afternoon, it was dry again. Probably needed to invest in a soaker hose, but I ended up ripping everyone out earlier this year.
My question to you guys is, does this sound like an ideal spot for Sedums? I would like to have something around the tree, but it sounds like the intensity and duration of the sun (probably coupled with my not soaking the ground well enough) wouldn't be ideal for a more "tropical" perennial, so I'm wondering if Sedum would fit the bill.
If so, do you have any you recommend aside from 'Autumn Joy'?
