Unfortunately I can't identify the variegated sedum for sure because the ID
tags, along with many dozens of others, were scattered throughout the
perennial garden early this spring by herds of rabbits.

I think the variegated sedum in question is "Medio".

I've never seen such destruction! Some of the plants I can identify by name
from memory, but many others are uncertain. This is especially disgusting
for my hosta and daylily collections, because nearly all of the tags were
scattered. Some I can accurately place next to the correct plant, but there
are many I'm not so sure of. The rabbit population this spring is the
largest I've ever seen. I may have to get out the old rabbit-pie recipe.

We and all the neighbors have dogs, but they don't chase rabbits. Where's
Elmer Fudd when you need that pesky wabbit chaser?
