SEDUM COMING

Yup. It's Sedum time. A bittersweet experience, knowing that the beautiful fall season is here, but also knowing that driving on icy roads is right around the corner. Oh, c'mon Brian - just enjoy autumn and worry about winter some other day!

SEDUM TIDBITS

• Also known as Stonecrop, which is the perfect name to me. I have a gardening client who has pink Sedum growing on a bank with stones interspersed. Great contrast.
• After the first frost this fall, cut the stems back to about an inch from the soil.
• Every spring, sprinkle some compost around the base. No need for fancy additives.

And...
Ford's Dearborn Truck Plant’s living roof has 10.4 acres of Sedum!
