I'm finally getting around to doing something "crafty" with sedum. We have a lot of wood laying around here from some huge trees that died, so I made a fountain out of some of it. I found trays of sedum mats at a big box store and added them to it. Not sure if they'll root into the cracks in the wood and do fine, or if they'll rot, but it's cute for now, and it was fun to design.

However it turns out in the long run, I'm enjoying it now. Smiling

It could still use a "topper", I think...maybe a sempervivum. I have another sedum that would look smashing up there, but I haven't yet come up with a plan to anchor that large of a specimen in that smallish area. Maybe wrap roots and soil in a mesh bag and tack it up? Hmmm...with a big piece of bark placed to the southwest and behind the bagged roots...that might just work. Have to do a color check first.
