I have "Hens and Chicks" which are very hardy!!
Hello Cindy,
Sedums.
I have been very sucessful with very sturdy sedums, tho no significant flowering in my potted specimens.
Here pictured below are the sedum that are surviving the 90-100 degree temperatures we are having now in central Virginia, zone seven -both in the garden as well as surface pots and hanging planters. In my experience they are thoroughly vetted for use. The hen and and chicks I’ve had for more than five years on this very same sun scorched deck survived ice and snow and below zero temperatures to sunny scorching summers assault! Hope this helps.
