Re: Sedum 'Frosty Morn'

Hello Barbara,
    I have a variegated tall sedum here in the garden that someone gave me. Doubt it is a "Frosty Morn', but same principle... Mine has had two stems try to revert to plain green this year. I just reach in at the base of the plant and pinch them off. Have not seen any more plain green this year so far. Variegation is not always stable in plants.
    Hope that it is OK if I have a cup of hot tea, rather than coffee.....

Subject: Sedum 'Frosty Morn'

Good Day --
Would someone, please, put a little shade-cloth over the sun!!

A couple years ago I fell in love with this little guy (Sedum 'Frosty Morn').
At first I thot he had an unusual growth habit.  Some of the stems were all
green and some were Frosty.  I thot, perhaps, the new growth was green and
matured into Frosty stems.  I'm sure now that I am wrong about that.  It is
just 1/2 green and 1/2 Frosty.  
      Recently someone told me that some have the nasty habit of doing this
and that I should get another one.

My question for the day is --
      I've been trying to decide if I should:
a.  Get rid of it and plant a new one somewhere else.  My heart won't let me
destroy it so on to --
b.  Take cuttings of the Frosty side and hope the new plants don't split
colors like the old one.  
c.  Dig up the old plant and see if I can separate out the green stems.  
Seems possible since there are only about 6-7 stems total. And the green ones
are pretty much on one side.

What experience have you all had with this plant?
Anything similar?
And what do you suggest I do with mine?

I'm leaning to doing both b and c.
As soon as someone gets that shade-cloth up!

Thank you and have a cup of coffee on me --
