I was thrilled earlier today when I planted six delosperma cooperi's around my parents mailbox. They are aware of my love for learning how to garden, even tho they know I'm fairly new.

Well, Mom approaches me with 8-10 Hensandchicks, and wants me to plant them somewhere, and she has given me full authority on doing this. I'm reading everything I can in this forum on ideas (and I don't want to say, ummm Mom? This may be over my head... Blinking ). I guess she got these from her 5th grade teacher who just passed, and would like to see them growing and thriving. They have beautiful plants around their home, but just don't have as much patience as I do when it comes to plants Hilarious!

So I am reading everything I can here, as there is so much to read! I guess I just want to make something beautiful yet simple, and based on what I've learned, I have already picked the spot that gets plenty of sun.

In this plot, should I dig a deep hole, fill it up with a sand/pea gravel mix? The plot I have chosen is about 5x5 plot, but I can make it bigger if necessary, I just have no clue about Sempervivums. Any all suggestions will be very well received, thanks so much in advance! Smiling
