| needrain | From May 15, 2010 to July 23, 2014 | Plant Ended (Removed, Died, Discarded, etc) After four years, it collapsed completely. I have found this to be a diva. The least disturbance and it reacted negatively, so quickly learned to tiptoe around it. But at the beginning of this spring there was a beautiful mound covering a shallow 12 inch pot. Then the hook broke and the pot fell and jarred the root ball. It went backward from that point. I have never been able to successfully root a cutting. I'll try Cape Blanco again because it's such an attractive plant. Though I've never seen this mentioned, it also emits a fragrance. Very elusive, but very pleasant in the evergreen category of odors - fresh and clean. It took me some time to discover where the fragrance originated. You can't rub the plant and get it, nor put your nose in it and smell. It just emits it somehow into the air around it. There are times when you can't detect the fragrance, but more than half the time it's there. I thought it an odd trait for a sedum, but definitely a plus. |
