wild sedum

15 years ago

I have a bunch of wild stonecrop in my yard..it was land that had never been disturbed and was under a canopy of many trees. We've removed the diseased trees, a bunch of wild multiflora rose and honeysuckle and have found many treasures.

It plentiful and healthy, but I dont' think I've ever seen it flower. Does all stonecrop flower? My local nursery is growing wild sedum and it has petite wild flowers.

I don't plan on touching it, as its pretty even by itself, but would love to know if there is something i can do to help it flower.

This link below is what mine looks like when it blooms (of course mine did not bloom so heavily, only a couple of sprays).

Here is a link that might be useful: Sedum ternatum

Mine blooms most years, but not like that photo, Esh!I have seen patches of it in the wild that were blooming like that, however. Now that yours is getting a little more light, it may bloom. My first attempt with the sedum failed as I planted it in too much shade, and then leaves covered it up. I actually forgot about it until too late. In the mountains the wind usually keeps most leaves off, and in the Piedmont it is often on a slope, so the leaves don't stay there much, either. I love this plant, and I am glad to hear that you do, too.

hello I would like to do a few trades for fall I have lots of coleus diffrent colors and leaf shapes but the markers have gotten lost. I would send unrooted cuttings. the sedum is tall light green and pink flowers, it is very hardy and vigorus. I can send rooted or unrooted cuttings. the black berries grow wild by our garage and if you can beat the birds to the berries they are very good. I'm looking for anything off my wants list, if you have lots of seeds to trade I would be willing to trade plants for seeds. thanks for looking michelle
