A couple of months back I put some little pieces of sedum in some compost in the hope that it would root and produce little plants.
At the weekend I noted that three pieces had grown on quite nicely in the half seed tray.
I decided it was unlikely that this growth was coming in the absence of roots so I decided to tip them out and pot them on.
Here they are in their finery, all potted up.
I’ll leave them in the greenhouse for now, to be planted at some point over the next two or three months.
Free plants – what’s not to like?
I’ll be back soon with some seed sowing silliness.
Mine grew from those little pups that come up with the spent flower stalks when I pull the stalks instead of cutting them. They grow like weeds once they get going! I really did not intend to grow it, but could not bear to chuck the pups without giving them a chance.

Free plants. I have mixed feelings about those, only because I have Shasta daisies coming out my ears after dividing one big one. I hate throwing plants away. Sometimes I have to tear the roots off to be done with them, or I’d try to save them all! I usually offer them on Craigslist, but still have extras.
I have to stop growing more yarrow from broken stems.

It’s like an illness! I know the symptoms very well. I give a lot to a plant fair for fund raising, some go to friends and family.

Sedum, Autumn Joy, is one of those plants you can’t kill with a sledgehammer! Just kidding, of course, because who wouldn’t want more of these wonderful three-season plants in their garden!

More the merrier. We shan’t discuss the fact that I don’t have room for any!
