Wow, great pictures Alan! I'm always amazed at the diversity of your garden!
Why are my favorites always the ones that don't do well here? I love the two dasyphyllum forms I have, but they're the most marginal here. Maybe it's the heat?
Alan, I see sedums described as sun, heat, and drought tolerant but for me they seem to suffer in anything near full sun and the heat of a black pot seems to especially bother them too unless I water fairly often and give half-day shade. I've had the same experience with the semps I've tried!
