Birdbath Sedum Fared Well Thru the Winter! ;-)
by
Angela A
Last year, I turned a birdbath into a flower planter and filled it with 3 types of sedum. I wasn't sure how it would fare, thru summer or winter. But, during the summer it flourished, and it fared well over the winter as well. I let the leaves and pinestraw that fell, stay and be a mulch/cover for it during the cold months. And this spring, its quite beautiful, even though one particular type has overtaken the others for now lol. (although the one that grows like a vine I had to trim back b/c it looked quite rough after the winter, even tho it was still living)...there are even pieces that fell to the ground and are growning! :)

Thanks for the update, Angela. I wondered how they would do being raised off the ground. I'm glad you saw good results and may be tempted to give this a try even though we suffer through more "winter."
