Sedum Lovin'
June 26, 2012
I am a sedum lover. My favorites are the sprawling and creeping types. The uprights, like Autumn Joy, just plain bloom too late in the autumn for me. Usually most of my annuals have been killed by frost, and they are the only plants blooming.
A few years ago I purchased my favorite sedums called the "Flaming Carpet Sedum".
The pot arrives (this was one pot) with three sedums, Angelina, Blue Spruce and Voodoo, all planted together. When it grows, it is a fabulous mixture of colors and textures. The Angelina sedum has just started to bloom. I have mixed hen and chicks in with the sedums and added mulch. Love the colors!
My hen and chicks in barnacles are next to the flaming carpet sedums.
This is an Angelina.
Hens about to bloom.
Up close.

Still sedum lovin'!

Your collection of succulents is lovely!
ReplyDeleteThanks for welcoming me back. I look forward to seeing you for Potpourri Friday!
Like the contrasting colors. I may have to check into sedums. How are they in hot, humid weather?
ReplyDeleteCarlene: Your sedums are very pretty. Like that yellow color..Happy Tuesday..Judy
ReplyDeleteMy sedum is just not making any progress. It looks the same as it did when I put it in the ground back in February. Now the one I actually put in a pot...it is going crazy! Go figure. Love the three together!!!
ReplyDeleteI have many sedums too. I have the Voodoo and Angelina in several planters all over the place. Mine stay out all year long. They are fun.
ReplyDeleteDid you know that your plate, kitchen garden was featured on Home Talk on Face Book. I thought hey that's my friend's garden. COngratulations.
ReplyDeleteMy hens are over a foot long this year (and a bit ugly because of it) - any reason why this happened? A few feet away are some other hens and chicks and they are normal size!
ReplyDeleteOh such a beautiful collection of sedums! I love succulents,their texture and color is so pretty! I love your hens and chicks in that barnacle:)Lovely post!Thanks for sharing and for your sweet comment. Have a beautiful day!Hugs,Poppy

ReplyDeleteHi Carlene, Your sedum is very pretty. I really like them too because they are absolutely no maintenance, can endure the heat, and look pretty even when they're not blooming. But I guess you know all that. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by,
Mary Alice
hi Carlene! What gorgeous gardens you have. Mine are looking pretty darn sad right about now. I have a terrible black thumb!
ReplyDeleteHi Carlene, thanks for stopping by and your nice comments. WOW, I am impressed with your sedum bed. SO clean and neat, nice variety too.
ReplyDeleteReceber sua visita será uma surpresa maravilhosa.
ReplyDeleteGostaria que também seguisse o meu espaço que, a partir de hoje torna-se extensão de sua casa, para minha alegria.
With love to you!
PSALM 23
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD,
That's Relationship!
I shall not want,
This supply is!
MAKE ME WALK IN GREEN PASTURES,
This is rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters,
This is refreshing!
He restores my soul,
This is healing!
GUIDE ME FOR THE PATHS OF JUSTICE,
That's Guidance!
FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR NAME,
This is on purpose!
THOUGH I WALK THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH,
That's Testing!
I will fear no evil,
That's Protection!
Thou art with me,
That is fidelity!
YOUR STICK AND YOUR staff they comfort me,
This is discipline!
Prepare a table before ME IN THE PRESENCE OF MY ENEMIES,
This is hope!
UNGE MY HEAD WITH OIL
That's Consecration!
And my cup runneth over,
That's Abundance!
SURELY GOODNESS AND MERCY A follow me EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE,
This is a blessing!
AND I WILL DWELL IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD
That's Security!
FOR LONG DAYS,
This is eternity!
May the Lord bless you and keep you!
Lucy.
