    You will soon be making starts of a few of the more vigorous varieties. You will be amazed at how fast some will grow.

    Ohhh, that's going to look beautiful later in the season!!! Could you give us a list of the numbers and plant names that go with them? It will be very interesting to watch the different growth patterns and be very helpful for those of us not familiar with them if we find one we really like.

    They are planted according to the clock, with 6 more inside the circle. So starting at one o'clock is sedum middendorfianum,then,delosperma cooperi,sedum sarmentosum,sedum spathulifolium(harvest moon),sedum sexangulare,sedum moranense grandiflorum,sedum reflexum sea gold,sedum reflexum f. Cristatum, rosularia serpentincta,sedum spurious Elizabeth,sedum spurious ruby mantle, sedumpachyclados is number 12. Number 13 is thorax cape sis,14 is sedum spurious opposititfloum, 15 is sedum grisebachii, 16 is sedum Angelina, 17 is sedum tricolor, and last but not least is sedum red wiggles. I will post more pix as they grow and as soon as I get the other 2 barrels planted.

    I like your sedum planting and it is going to be so pretty and colorful. I hope you know that you have started something now! I have a large container in my front yard that is now telling me it needs sedums!

    We bought a half barrel on sale at lowes a few years ago and it was raining when we got home so we left it in the SUV. A couple days later when we went to the store the Suv smelled wonderful. We rode the thing around for a month before using it we jokingly referred to it as worlds largest car deoderizer:p:D
