I know you're saying "Wha'?"
I'm just posting about Sedum. The common name is Stonecrop. Unfortunately I'm missing the names of a couple of the varieties. (I sure could use your help!)
The Crawlers:
Unless designated otherwise, these "crawlers" are right in front of the house, in my little rock garden type area.
The tag on this said 'Worm Grass.'
I've found it listed as Sedum Album. It is very small and has white flowers.
Sedum reflexum 'Blue Spruce'
Sedum spurium 'Dragon's Blood' on the left
Sedum Spurium 'John Creech'
I believe 'Dragon's Blood' is in the background.
This is NOT Worm Grass in the foreground.
This is much smaller than Worm Grass.
Can you help me with this, too??
(I think it has a tiny yellow flower.) The sedum below could have some height, if it stood up.
As it is, it just lies around, looking beautiful.
(It may be 'Bertram Anderson.' I planted B.A. in the front sunny bed
last Spring, but don't have photos of it yet.)This is 'Gold Carpet' Sedum. I planted this last summer in the front of the Sunny Corner Bed.
This is the "Sunny Corner."
In the foreground, at left, is "Matrona." I'm very fond of this plant!
Mid-bed is a shorter plant called "Chablis."
In the back, to the left, is "Autumn Joy" and to the right is "Purple Emperor."
This is 'Matrona' close-up.
This is 'Purple Emperor' up close and personal.
Here are the two close-up photos.
'Autumn Joy' in the backyard.
The second plant (on the right) is called 'Diamond Edge.'

This is actually not my photo. If you click on this photo, it will take you to a site with a description of the plant. I purchased my plant locally. I hope it does well! :-)

'Chablis' is interesting. In the Spring, half the 'Chablis' stems and leaves are pure white. They turn out to be variegated green and white (on the left). Can you tell there were two different types of blossom heads? This first photo shows them before they're in full bloom.
Interesting comparison, isn't it?Here are the two close-up photos.
'Autumn Joy' in the backyard.
Right in front of the house, I have two taller varieties. I purchased the one on the left in Sheffield, IL (on US Highway 34) as I drove home from Michigan 1 1/2 years ago. The name tag must be hiding under the plant. I hope I can find it this Spring.
The second plant (on the right) is called 'Diamond Edge.'

I really do like sedum! There are too many varieties, though. I think I have enough of them. ;-)
