Succulent Plant Identification | Succulent Sphere | Containers for Succulents
Deciding which Sedum to use can be a daunting prospect - if you aren't sure what you want. Let me help you decide on the perfect stonecrop out of the many types of these amazing garden plants. There are so many species and varieties of Sedum to choose from for your next xeriscaping project;
Sedum for Containers such as Sedum dasyphyllum and Sedum hispanicum which are suitable for miniature landscapes, small rock gardens, troughs or mixed planters. Other great choices are Sedum lydium, Sedum spurium varieties, S. niveum and S. pluricaule.
Use these special drought resistant plants in your containers to ensure you have a beautiful yet low maintenance display.
Sedum for Groundcovers such as the well behaved Sedum spurium 'John Creech', Sedum reflexum 'Angelina' or 'Blue Spruce' - many are magnets for butterflies and bees who flock to the nectar and pollen through the summer months.
Green Roof Sedum recommended extensively for green roofs such as many kinds of Sedum spurium and Sedum album.
Sedum for Borders
- taller varieties for use in the perennial border such as Sedum
spectabile 'Autumn Joy' can be found on this page. Special new
varieties such as the hybrids Sedum x 'Twilight' and 'Olive' will wow
your friends.
See below for pictures and short descriptions and click on the picture to take you to more information. Still not sure which one will suit your project? Contact me!
All Sedum varieties and species have the same requirements for full sun exposure and fast draining soil and are hardy to zone 5a or colder on the Canadian Zone map.
When you place your order, it is usually custom propagated, so please allow 4-6 weeks lead time except in the case of unrooted cuttings.
The reason for this is that my Sedum and Succulent Nursery
is a micro farm with limited room to keep stock on hand at all times.
Custom propagating ensures that you receive happy plants at the perfect
stage for planting in your garden. As I'm in a snow belt, shipping has to end when the snow flies, meaning that everything comes to a grinding halt by about the middle of October.
Sedum plug production in the greenhouse during the summer. These are 72 cell plug trays. Each cell is about one inch square and one inch deep. As you can imagine, the plants are only happy in a teaspoon of soil for a short time, which is why they are all custom grown to your specifications as required.
