gg5 said:@OFM you used the term 'herbaceous' - which I'd heard before but never knew exactly what it meant, so I'm glad I looked it up...Herbaceous means dying back to the soil after each growing season - and that is exactly what many of these sedum do!!! (Where as deciduous means falling off - leaves fall off but stems stay in place) I love learning something new!!

It's new to me as well - almost everything is! I'm just trying to retain all these new words...especially the plant names...I try and take a lap around the yard every other night saying the names to myself, and I've got most of them....

I have to admit, I'm hoping against herbaceous (it sounds like people have mixed results with the confusums, depending on conditions) and deciduous...was hoping for a colorful yard all year round.
