These were freebies with a plant order I got from Michigan Bulb this Spring. They came to me as tiny plants and lately they have gone wild growing and flopping all over the place. I have never had much success with Sedum, I have no idea if they should be cut back or left to grow like crazy. Do they get fuller if cut back? Should I start making tiny trellises for them to climb up? Sedum running wild ( photo / image / picture from toni's Garden )
I have lots of sedums. I just let them be - they form a nice ground cover in the garden. And in containers - they work as the 'fillers' and some 'spillers' too. They look lovely in containers when they fill up.
Cheryl, I found that container at a shop on one of our junque trips about 2 years ago, it has been the home of asst Sedum but these have definitely lasted longer and grown better than any others. Tina, thanks for the info. I like the wild look but never having gotten any to this size I wasn't sure if they should be controlled. They have really filled in since I got them. I think there is a Jewels of Opar in there I need to move before it gets too big.
Nice bonus! These plants might need a bit more light. Even the creeping types should have a generally upright appearance. Could you show a clearer pic of the suspected 'jewels?'
