Sedum, Carpet Sedum, Variegated Sedum 'Variegatum'

I have finally identified my Sedum lineare 'Sea Urchin'. But some of the photos show a fleshier plant than mine. The comment of Jamie fro...Read Morem MI in 8/16 mentions another version with finer pine needle like foliage. Had anyone else noticed this?

A pretty plant that did not survive its first winter here in Z6a.

I bought this plant at a garden center. It was labeled "Sea Urchin Sedum". It is thriving here in Southeastern Michigan. It survived t...Read Morehe winter with flying colors. It spreads very slowly. It seems to have doubled in size in one year. I uploaded a picture. The picture is a small piece from the larger parent plant. This sedum transplants easily. It doesn't seem to suffer from transplant shock. I was worried the sedum would not survive Michigan winters, but it did. So, take heart if you live in a zone like mine. I believe I am in Zone 5b. This sedum does fine in my zone.

I think there might be two different varieties of this sedum --- one with thick fleshy, foliage and one with finer, pine-needle foliage. Mine is the type with the pine-needle foliage. I'm thinking that the pine-needle foliage variety is hardier than the fleshy sedum. This would explain why this sedum thrives in colder zones for some people and dies in colder zones for other people. The pictures in the plant file seem to indicate the two different varieties of this sedum.

i really like this plant, although i couldnt keep it alive in my yard, i've seen nice groves of it in hanging baskets ..i want to try to ...Read Moregrow it again someday
