Veronica: The plant is sedum Metrona.I love it in bud stahe.The black stems are neat too.
Susan: Ohh gawd more beds? Sorry no and as I sometimes go back on that ststement ,wgere the gardens are concerned it is definate. I was old when we moved here and havnt gotten any younger.I had a helper for 2 seasons but this year he evaporated and I am doing the best I can but my stamina is disappearing. I weed as much as I can but DD will have to help me clean up this fall.She will fire up the electric hedge shears and do the big stuff.
Sorry to go on about this but it is a forwarning to you youngsters .When you hit 70 the garden is a monster.
I am thankful I had the foresight to put in much of the garden to hostas.
