Re: Spring Gardening
I googled some pictures. I think S spectabile may indeed be what someone
donated to our display gardens - 4 truckloads of it. Without a name we
checked photos of cultivars and settled on 'Carmen', which I knew was wrong,
but close. It doesn't flop. (of course, Carmen - the genuine Carmen that I
have, never droops either).
The one I had a terrible time with flopping was Hylotelephium (syn. Sedum)
'spectabile 'Variegatum'. No matter the location or whether I pinched, it
flopped with a big naked hole in the center. Got rid of it.
