Sedum, a large genus of plants commonly known as Stonecrop. A peek at eight great upright varieties.

Sedum👀. Its 102 through 110 degrees here in zone 6 . The Sedum Autumn Joy in my landscape berm are taking the sun and heat like champs. It has a Russian sage hedge and some Switch grass to keep it company.

Great video, BTW I also have a small gardening channel!

[@gardenhike]

I'll check it out!

You don't say if they are friends of bees or butterflies. i guess you don't know these insects in your country

[@gardenhike]

From my observations, primarily bees.

[@IAmHumanJake]

Did you do the ground cover sedums

[@gardenhike]

No, not yet. Hoping to do a video on them this summer.

[@IAmHumanJake]

@@gardenhike ok hope you do them

[@SMElder-iy6fl]

Do any of these self-seed?

[@gardenhike]

So far, the Dark Magic is the only one that has self seeded for me.

I call them my garden workhorse. I do a lot of chop 'n drop towards end of the season and last week during our unseasonable warm spell (Zone5 🇨🇦) I noticed about 20 new shoots of Autumn Joy popping up around my Peonies. After scratching my head for a moment I realized what had happened 😁 Now I have a bunch of new plants to start to create an Autumn Joy hedge. I also have one called Josephine that is a deep purple.

Sedums, a favourite in my garden! Great video - looking forward to one on the shorter variety.

[@Lauralaey5]

But, when can you plant them??

[@gardenhike]

It will vary depending on what zone you live in. I’m in zone 4 and our primary planting months are May thru September.
