JungleShadows said:OK here's the story of Sedum 'Sandy's Silver Crest'.
Sandy MacMherson had a nursery in OH that sold mainly semps but he did grow some sedums as well. Helen Payne and he were good friends and he shared this sedum sport with Helen. After growing it for several years she realized how outstanding it is and named it 'Sandy's Silver Crest'. It is a very peculiar plant in that it is not really variegated but once in a while along a stem, you will get a little portion that is white, maybe 8-10 leaves and then it starts growing green again. This one also crests and if you get the white phase and the crest phase to occur in sync you get this amazing looking sort of checkerboard cockscomb. This is one that Polly Bishop had and loved and I got a plant back from her before she passed.
It is obviously a reflexum type. I don't know of any commercial source for it but it's probably one that should be on the market as it's so unique.Kevin
