Stonecrop

Only few flowers left in the garden after we went below the freezing point few days ago. Luckily the nearby lake helps and since most of the flowers are close enough to it some of them were able to escape the nearly certain sudden death.

Stonecrops (Sedum) are still doing well and blooming beautifully. Unfortunately cannot anymore remember the exact variety of the one in the picture. It is the oldest one I have and the one that made me buy more.

Nearly lost the plant last year but changing it to a dryer place helped. Too many nutrients and too much water were the reasons why it did not do well.

After several beautiful days the winter decided to come back. The temperature is below the freezing point and we got some snow during the night.

Stonecrops are doing fine though. Even with the low temperatures they have managed to start the season.

Stonecrops are one of those plants which look interesting the whole summer. Light green during the spring and red long lasting blooms during the autumn.

Stonecrop

Autumn is here and my stonecrop flowers are turning red and birches are starting to drop their leaves.

Temperature is slowly dropping and it rains more often. Days are getting shorter and we are reaching the point where the day is as long as the night.

Stonecrop is probably one of the easiest plant to grow. It can almost take any weather or temperature and still look good. Must buy more of them in the spring.
