Resource for Info on Sedums?

I've been trying to research some sedums and am not having much luck with some of them. Does anyone know of a good book or other resource?

Thanks!

Jody, here is some help for you, "Sedum Cultivated Stonecropos"
by Ray Stephenson. Look up any Cactus and Succulent Book Store, Search the Cactus Mall, please contact me privately, and I'll give you more nubmers to contract. I'm not allowed to do that on this list. There are also Sedum journals, many, many article, too many to mention here. Cactus and Succulent books, by the dozens available. Norma

Thanks Norma!!!

I you need name and address of book stores, I think I can provide those for you as well. I know Sedum collectors, I have list of Cactus and Succulent nurseries. email me privately for these if you are interested. Norma

Happy New Year Norma!!!

Funny you posted the Sedum Society, I was just looking at them while surfing the net the other day :) I think I am going to join.

By the way...all my new sedum cuttings are looking great so far.

Okay, but I'm not sure I can put this information here.

Try this bookshop first tell them Norma sent you.

Rainbow Gardens when I can find the address I will put it on later tonight.
Look for this book as well as the first one mentioned. No colored pictures but much cheaper, I do recommend the first one in preference.
A Gardener's Guide to Sedums. Very few drawing all in black and white cost was $4.95 when I purchased it a few years ago.

Hi group, try this place also for books, it will connect you to a world wide search. I found really good prices, the used books are fine to good. They don't sell junk. Bargain Books www.BaargainBooks.online.com
Ray Stevenson's book cost more about $40.00 but has colored pictures an easy read.
Most Illus. Dictionary's will have sectiions on Sedum. Old books will not have the new discovery's, so cheap is not necessarally good. Excuse the spelling, just got home from the Huntington and I'm bone tired.
There is also Brooks's books, I'll search for that address later as well. If any of you belong to the CSSA there will also be listings and suppliers of plants.

I will try to make arrangements for CSSA journals free so you can see for yourselves. I'll see what I can do about this, they will be complimentary. Norma

Thanks Norma your the greatest!!!

I was just too tired to catch the spelling error.

Brooks Books

brooksbk@netvista.net Ask for the catalogue, it may be online.

They accept Visa,Discover, and MasterCard
I was very satisfied with their service.
Remember many Sedum come from Cold Climate locations.

Jody, I was looking in Glass House Works catalogue. They have two Sedum sections, one under cold hardy plants and the other under succulents. These plants are not expensive. Also you may want to try Bob Smoley's catalogue. Now remember there are cold hardy types that don't do well in So. Calif. which I believe are nicer than the tropical types, meaning Zone 21 or US 10, which come from Mexico and other parts of the world. Sedum tend to come from No. of the Equator, very few South. Not all catalogues have available the same species. You can get free plants and seeds by joining the society, but it is a two way street. You don't get if you don't give. Norma

Thanks so much for you help and all the info!!!

The cold hardy types would probably be better for me, as the others have to live in the greenhouse through the winter. I think I am going to order the book from Rainbow Gardens and have checked out Bob Smoleys though I don't have the catalogue yet.

Have you ever heard of Plant Jewels of the high country "Sempervivums and Sedums" by Helen E. Payne? I am considering ordering this one.

Thanks again for your help!

Living in hot So. Cal. San Fernando Valleyi, nothing from the north will survive our temperature which reach often 95+ from July 1-Oct 1 I have a few, but must keep them in the shade. It's a bummer.
Barbara, did I give enough information to help you out? Gosh you take good pictures, and I'm still looking for that plant name. The one with the flat purplish leaves, I have it also, it's driving me nuts, I did spend some time tonight looking in three books, no luck so far, I know it's in that Mother Natures, succulent and catus book, but I can't find my copy.
