sedums and rock wall plantings

19 years ago

Here's a selection of compact, cushion-forming or trailing Sedums from my garden in England.

I almost prefer the developing flowerbuds to the flowers themselves. Below is Sedum cf. 'Little Gem' flowering (not a hardy plant).

In my propagation area I keep about 40 Sedum species + cultivars (all low-growing types), but only about half of these are planted out in the garden. Although, I suppose the propagation pots & trays are becoming garden features themselves!

S. ewersii is great in containers with taller plants, here a rather weatherbeaten Cordyline. Underplanted with snow-in-summer.

S. spurium variegatum. Does it flower?

The top of one of my rock walls, planted a few years ago with sedums, sempervivums, miniature conifers, and Oenothera missouriensis. It works well, but have to keep my eye on the more vigorous sedums.

Another wall with Sedum rupestre trailing down its sides. Alongside aubretias, campanulas and alyssums.

And here's one I keep indoors - S. morganianum

Thanks for viewing. I'd be interested to see how other people use sedums in their gardens, please post!
