I didn't plant these
per se. I haven't seen a donkey's tail in ages. Yesterday, in the most unexpected place (Walmart) I came across two well established plants nestled in a top shelf filled with various petunias. I am so pleased to have a chance to grow sedum morganianum again. Thick, overlapping leaves trail down to form a "donkey's tail". Beautiful--and fragile. I hung the containers underneath my Boston fern which hangs from a low overhanging branch of my neighbor's tree. I couldn't have wished for a more perfect place.
Here is how a mature plant looks.
It must be the right time for me to get reacquainted with sedum morganianum. It's been many, many years since I've caught sight of one; lately since moving to Sacramento, I've been thinking, and hoping to find these; I found the image above less than a week ago, and late yesterday afternoon, I found my plants waiting for me at Walmarts. Quite serendipitous really since I was shopping for mandevilla and other flowering container plants.
