Me & the hubby have done exactly that (sorry don't remember who said it) dodging storms,we have had 6 today,it's almost 7pm & it rained last night.Would yall please help with a question i posted on the cactus & succulent forum under "succulent (type) plant care & repotting.Problems planting a plant.

Also i lost my Sedum ruben 'lizard' :shrug: BUT GREG YOUR BRILLIANT!!! I took your advice,look at the difference in my
Sedum 'lineara' var.

Jojoe, was Greg's advice to leave the sedum in a pot and place in your garden? Sometimes when I get something new and not sure if it will survive or look good in that spot, I leave it in the pot it came in and bury it there for a week to see if it like it there. That way I can avoid the shock of replanting, but still able to see if the new plant likes it there.

This plant almost didn't make it during the winter that time my grandson decided to help me with my plants.Do you remember that??? He watered this plant (gave it a bath) when i wasn't looking & almost killed it completely.Remember he's autistic & him showing the interest in my plants delighted me enough that he got a hug for drowning it.

It was outside in the same pot but i have a lot of burned plants from pouring rain then bright sunshine.This happens all day.I said something and following Gregs advice i moved it into more shade.I also thought having it sitting on the ground may prevent it from draining as well as needed.I set it up on a rock in more shade and it has taken off.

Question: is there an upright Sedum that blooms now instead of in the fall.I figured it's my crazy weather.It's the tallest one and is different than the others.


Question:Do these sedum need much fertilizer? I haven't been able to feed much except by slow release.

The 1st. picture is a few months old but it gives you an idea of how all the Upright sedums are growing at such different rates. This photo is recent & their still growing at such different rates.

I have some osmocote smart-release plant food it's 19-6-12 NPK.what does anyone else use on Sedums?

Jelinda I don't fertilize my sedum, especially the tall types. I came cause them to have weak growth and they begin to flop over.
Sedum can use more water than sempervivum, so should be okay in your heavy rains. Not sure about your heat/humidity. Probably good that you move them into an area a little more protected from intense sun. Most do well in full sun though.
The upright ones usually start blooming in Sept. But with the crazy weather all of us have been having this year, who knows?

Me & the hubby decided i would try to consolidate some of my succulents this year to cut back on pots inside in the winter.I had some different plants i planted all in a pot together.I hope i didn't put to many in one pot or any wrong plants together.This is the first time doing this.

Adolphii

this was labeled golden Adolphii but

'burrito'

'vera higgins'

Here is what i ended up with.

There is one noid in the pot & i have no idea what it is.It's in the 1st. picture between the 'Adolphii' & 'burrito'

That looks great Jelinda. And they all have the same growing requirements.
I'm not sure what the other succulent is, but it also looks that it would have the same growing requirements.
Nice container.

Thank you very much Miss Lynn!!
Notice the S. 'Golden Adolphii' hanging over the side.In the middle of the pot are a few smaller ones that are more of an orangish color (reminds me of sherbert),one has darker dots,others are a smooth color.They have all been grown together over a year.I seen a succulent called 'orange delight' in a database (not here) that looks just like this down to the dots.Has anyone ever heard of it,ring any bells for anyone??

There's the 'adolphii' & then a______ i can't remember even close how to spell it maybe "nuss and a b somewhere in it. They look alot alike,can anyone help melt my brain freeze ?

Point is i think the orange ones may or may not be 'adolphii??

Please tell me after this post yall don't think no less of me!! I am blowing the cobwebs out of my brain.


The scars you see are from sun burn and EVERY SUCCULENT has been burned from the rain storms coming & going then the sun coming out fully.

That looks really nice.

Very nice indeed.
Helping you blow the cobwebs out.

Jojoe, Check out this ATP link. The plant database has pics of both your sedum the orange/yellow and the green/brwnishpink ones. Seem both are closely related.

Any idea's on the id of each of my plants???

How can you tell the difference in the 'Adolphii' & 'nussbaumers'???

Haven't had time to read all this thread yet, but it looks like you guys have some interesting sedum. I've been growing a lot of the common ones for years and am now going to try getting the cuttings I just got to root and will either plant them outside or may keep some inside until spring.

Here's one I grow that I've always called sedum acre, but it doesn't seem to really match the photos in the database. I throw it on the ground around the feet of my lilies and daylilies and it seems to grow anywhere.


Sedum Kamtschaticum is one that grows along the edges of many of my beds. I am going to get rid of some of it to make room for some of my new ones.Here it is blooming last spring.

I call this one golden tear drops. Not sure of it's real name. It's nice for edging and also in pots where it trails down.

Taller ones I grown include Sedum Neon, Ruby Glow and takesimensis . Here are some the sedums in a stacking planter. The one with the yellow flowers is takesimensis.

My favorite is this little blue one. pallidum var. bithynicum. I had a big clump of it, but after flowering it has about disappeared. It does that every year, then comes back from seeds. Here it is beside Angelina, another favorite last spring.

Susan your 4th picture looks to me like sedum 'sarmentosum'.

Here's 2 pictures of what i did with some.We had a whole bunch of tree's cut down & there was a stump next to where i wanted to put a rock garden.

I eventually rolled the rocks back when i thought it was well enough established.Please excuse the weeds.We have been having so much rain they're impossible to keep up with & that sweet gum tree is growing seedlings from a root that's half way above the ground.I am also have been filling in bare spots from the hard rains and the squirrels digging up acorns in the soil i covered the stump in.

I am still working on this bed a year later. I'm slow and the rains aren't helping.

Beautiful pictures of your garden. Your golden tear drops looks very much like sarmentosum.
Here is my Purple Emperor I like the way it looks next to the variegated garden phlox but I do keep thinking it is a bit squeezed in there. Autumn Delight is really getting some nice size to it. I should be taking cuttings to start more plants. The Choclate Ball is really starting to show off well.

Jo, your work for the year is really showing nicely. Given the obstacles you occasionally have, things seem to be coming along and filling in nicely green/golden/happy yellow!

Thanks for helping me with the name of my golden one. I grabbed a handful of it when I left home 48 years ago and have moved it around with me every since. i like how you used it Jo. Holly, I really like your Purple Emperor. Looks like a good one for contrast.

Beautiful gardens Susan!

Jelinda, your sedum really took off and is doing well.

Holly, love your 'Chocolate Ball'!

Love the pictures and good to see such beautiful sedums. Here in Washington mine are starting to bloom.

Love that photo Julia. Which sedum are those?
