Hylotelephium (formerly Sedum
spectabile, Sedum telephium) are still listed that way below.
Taxonomists said this was the new name about 10 years ago! but very few people have made the
switch. We'll do so when most of the public can remember this
name. |

Sedum album 'Coral Carpet'
Coral Sedum Zone 3-9
 
 Coral Carpet (as in Coral Reef) is a low, spreading cultivar that quickly forms dense mats of fleshy, bright-green leaves, often tinged salmon pink. Clusters of starry white to pale pink flowers like Baby's Breath. This plants roots where it touches, so a little soon goes a long way. An excellent ground cover for a sunny, dry spot.

Sedum bithynicum Turkish Sedum Zone:
e
 One of our tiniest sedums. But don't let that fool you. This little guy can
grow like a little weed! But it's so tiny, it won't run over it's
neighbors unless they're also VERY tiny. Beautiful under conifers if
they're limbed up 3 feet or so, so some sunlight can get in, where most
things won't grow. With some sun, this little guy will grow anywhere
but a wet spot..

"The
plants arrived yesterday in absolutely fantastic shape! Great
packing job-I don't think they even realized they had taken a trip.
These are by far the nicest looking plants I have ever received by
mail. Keep up the good work-I really appreciate a company that
actually cares about the stock they send. Looking forward to
doing business with you in the future!"
Thanks

Sedum hispanicum minus Little Blue
Spanish Stonecrop, Tiny Buttons Zone:

A
wonderful little sedum with blue-green succulent leaves and a soft feathery
feel to it. This European native is a great rockery plant and not a
thug which some creeping sedums are. More mound forming actually
although it can spread if happy. The species has white to pale pink
blooms whereas this form is distinctly pink. Great in troughs
although not quite as hardy as some Sedums.

Far
and away the most yellow of all the sedums. Looks like little
golden/chartreuse pebbles. Ogon means gold in Japanese. Yellow
blooms with orange tips to the stamens which are attractive and fluffy
looking. Not as hardy as some Sedums but for those who can grow
it, it's a charmer. Takes heat well and looks good all
summer. Unlike some sedums, it also seems to prefer a little

Sedum
'Purple Emperor'
Hylotelephium 'Purple Emperor'
Zone: 3-7 Touted
as the replacement for burgundy Sedum 'Mohrchen' because it retains
it's upright posture throughout the season. The fleshy, dark
purple leaves and stems lay the foundation for masses of tiny,
star-lie, dusky pinkish-purple bloom in large, flattened flower
heads, 3-6" across. Like all of the 'tall' Sedums,
wonderful even in winter. Introduced by Washfield Nursery in
England, it has the darkest black burgundy of any sedum and will
surely take the Sedum world by storm. Soil: Well-drained

Sedum
sieboldiis -- Clump forming sedums
Some
of the best Sedums in the trade. Clump forming with absolutely
Amazing Fall colors as you can see at the left! In Fall, due to the
heavy stems, the plants may need to be cut back some for shipment.
Tough plants, but in the ground, they rest on the soil or mulch which
supports their unusually large, heavy blooms. If we try to ship when
in bloom, and if the box gets banged or turned upside down, these heavily
laden stems can snap (and always right at soil level). So for the
safety of your plants, we may have to cut them back some so we can secure
them for travel. Early in the season, this isn't a problem.

Sedum spurium - Groundcover Sedums
Sedum spurium cultivars are some of the
best groundcover sedums HOWEVER, THEY ARE OFTEN SPARSE LOOKING THE FIRST
YEAR, filling in thickly in later years With foliage that ranges from green (John
Creech) to burgundy red (Coccineum), red orange (Fuldaglut) to three
colored (Tricolor), there's a color for every garden. And now we
have the darkest and most sinister of all (or at least from its name --

Sedum 'Beka' PP18398
(Autumn Delight'TM) Variegated Stonecrop Z: 4-9
 In
our opinion, Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is not only one of the best Sedums in the
trade but one of the best Perennials -- period! We couldn't think of
any way to improve on it but, well, gosh, now there's a STABLE variegated
form of 'Autumn Joy' (via intermediate sport 'Autumn Charm'
TM). Oh wow!
Chartreuse-yellow leaves with a narrow, blue-green margin. The large
clusters of pink flowers on sturdy upright stems coordinate perfectly and
generally completely cover the entire top of the foliage -- just like
Grandma 'Autumn Joy'. Gradually, the seed heads change to bronze and
add winter interest.

Please note, due to the marvelous
'reclining' nature of the following two sedums -- long stems with huge
HEAVY blooms at the end, late in the season, we will probably have to
cut the plants back some to ship. They're wonderful planted in
the garden where the earth or mulch supports these heavily laden stems
but traveling in a quart pot, if the box gets slammed about or turned
upside down, the heavy stems can break (and always right at the
crown), so for the protection and safety of your plant, we will cut
them back to a safe length for travel.

Sempervivum
- Hens 'n Chicks Zone: 3-9(10)
(some afternoon shade in warmer areas)
Have
very little need for soil or water. Most flower infrequently. Flowering rosette dies after setting
seed but leaves lots of babies. True alpine plants. In Sempervivum
the flowers are star-shaped with 8 to 16 petals. The most common colors
are shades of pink or red although some have cream or yellow flowers. Grown in
3.5"
pots 'cause all you really need is a 'Start' with these little
multipliers! There are about 60
species of Sempervivums and there are over 3600 registered cultivars!
I would say of all the Genuses of plants we've grown/studied/looked
at, the reported zones on this Genus is the most confused. If
you query 30 sites, you'll find 30 different reports. Zone: 3-8, 4-7,
7-10. :-) After much study and deliberation, we honestly
believe they're hardy almost everywhere! AS LONG AS DRAINAGE IS
IMPECCABLE there are many reports of them growing fine in
Alaska. I'd be interested to hear from Zone 10 gardeners.
I read mixed reports from Zone 10 gardeners, but again, think it's
probably a "too much water issue".

Very well-drained Height varies but all are only inches tall.

grayish-green with darker tips, taking on a bluish tinge in the summer. Sturdy, compact plants which offset well.

color. Bred by American Ed Skrocki (US) in 1976. This is one of our
favorites. Wonderful in pots where the offsets trail down over the

Sempervivum
(Jovibarba) allionii 'Monica' Rollers
Zone: 3-9
We
acquired this Jovibarba many years ago and thought it was a Sempervivum
until just recently - March '06. We did finally figure out (duh)
that it's a Jovibarba allionii but really can't find a named cultivar that
matches it, although possibly Jovibara 'Sibyllina'. A single plant
looks for all the world like an Artichoke! And in winter, when all
the Semps are grey and burgundy, it stands out in the crowd with an
intensely apple green color. Some sources list them as Sempervivums
so we just leave them in with the Semps with both names so people can find
them!

Sempervivum
(Jovibarba) soboliferra 'Madame Lorene' Rollers
Zone: 3-9
Introduced
by Leo Thomas of the US. Called 'Rollers' because the round babies
roll away from the Momma. Some sources list them as Sempervivums (Sunny
Border for one) so we just leave them in with the Semps with both names so
people can find them! Jovibarba flowers are yellow, more bell-like
and usually have six petals.
