What's Blooming Now - Sea Star Sedum 05/07/10

Sedums are succulent ground covers. They are really wonderful, each one is more fascinating than the last one. The shapes and colors of the leaves are beautiful. The flowers are individually very small, but they really stand out because the groundcover becomes a solid carpet of color.


A close-up of the flowers.

You can see how Sea Star Sedum got its name. How charming! The flowers are shaped just like sea stars.This is a picture of Sea Star Sedum before it bloomed. I think it is a fascinating little ground cover whether in bloom or not in bloom.

Here are some other sedums I have growing:

This is called Silver Frost sedum. It blooms white flowers.

Mexican Sedum is blooming right now. The color of the flowers is yellow, they stand above the plant about 6 inches high. The color of the leaves is chartreuse, so that is a nice punch for the garden when it is not in bloom.
