Just remember Critter lots and lots of gravel. I know people that can grow things in Michigan that we cannot grow. Cold zones that get cold and stay cold with lots of snow is fine for Semps and Sedum. That is the weather we do not get. Zones are average temps for the winter season they do not take into account the swinging temps of up and down that include so much moisture.
It is our crazy weather that is 60 degrees for days with 4" of rain then in 24 hrs we are at 28 degrees with freezing rain then snow. It is that block of ice that kills our plants.
