| I have 8 rectangular planter boxes and am searching for a low maintenance perennial. About 6 boxes get full sun and the other 2 are mainly in the shade. Each planter is 36"L x 7" w/d. Would love any advice so I can avoid killing more plants.   |

| Sedum is pretty indestructible. Can do sun or shade. 7 inches is not a whole lot of dirt so I would be worried they get too dry, often. Sedum can take that with no damage. i'm pretty OK today, how are you? ;^) |

| Also 7 x 7 is not much as far as Winter protection goes. You will need something that is very cold hardy. |
