Re: Tour day is over-now variegated plants

Mine was in an area with morning sun and with less as the summer wore on. I got it 10 years ago and spent that summer caring for a newborn. In the spring it had cream and pink edges; by fall it was completely green and stayed that way!

If that sedum is the ordinary one, need to go out to the garden (ouch) in the
90 degrees so will guess, it is a full sun plant.  It is water that it does
not need.  There are a bunch of them around here and while not wildy
multiplying are easy to grow.  That plant can take full unshaded sun in a
pile of gravel. Speaking here, of course, in the Northeast.
If you find a rare all green shoot remove it.  It is a very good trough plant
along with and interlaced with a  wide leafed portulace which will bloom pink
and pick up the variagated color.  Not exactly an alpine application but very
nice.  Both are easy to buy in a good nursery.
