sedum – down to earth digs

Ground Cover Color

Sedum Red Carpet, was added to an edge of a garden bed last year,

and it has quickly become a favorite!

It’s time to hit up all the local garden centers for clearance plants.

I have the perfect spot to add one more Sedum to the edge of the garden.

I love when the Stonecrop starts to spill over the weathered crate that it is planted in.

Stonecrop is the common name for the large plant family of Sedum

“known for their foliage, flowers, hardiness and variety”

Perfect!

I have been adding new plants each year, and now have lot’s of Mother plants to take cuttings from.

I fill flats with a sand and soil-less potting mix.

Tuck in all the little cuttings, and wait patiently in the greenhouse.

When they resist a little tug–they are ready for either a larger pot–or right to the garden.
