I agree regarding Hylos and aphids. I think I will quit growing them except for maybe Autumn Joy. That's the only one that doesn't splay out. Alcohol helps but I don't want to keep messing around with that. The bees love Autumn Joy.
Chocolate Ball never lasted for me; died a few times over. It seems to be off the market around here.
It seems some of the sedums that aren't very hardy reseed and come back that way.
