Brought back to life and survived the winter

[Ernie]

The Begonia has been in the greenhouse all winter kept at 5 degrees. It seems to be doing okay, I was not sure what minimum to keep the plant at.

The Sedum is now growing well. It was a piece I got last year that most folk would have thrown out. Bit of tender loving care and its now growing well. Anyone know if this one can live outside?

Hi Ernie - I got my Sedum dasyphyllum off a (public) wall in Ludlow, so yes, it does grow outside.

Interesting Ralph. The piece I obtained was from a retired succulent dealer. The data with it ;
Collected -Turkey-Antalya-Feslikan yaylas (pascal Raes) SSS number 1434. Is that a Sedum succulent society number? Interesting it grows in the UK it must be wide spread throughout Europe?

Has yours flowered?

I've had Sedum dasyphyllum for many years now and it survives outside quite happily during the winter. Even the 'Beast from the East' didn't worry it last year. Little bits do tend to break away and start new plants readily.

Ernie, it's not native in the UK, but escapes from cultivation from time to time.

Yes, mine was covered in flowers last summer. (It's in the greenhouse now).

It definitely does escape. I find it in the most unusual places, last year I found some growing in my BBQ drip tray

It's taken me a few days to get round to checking this. SSS1434 is the January 2014 Sedum Society Seed distribution. Collection details: Feslikan Yaylasi, Antalya. Turkey, collected by Pascal Raes. So Feslikan Yaylasi, not yaylas.
The Sedum Society is a good source of free Crassulaceae seed, a large range each year. with many species that you would have trouble finding elsewhere.

It looks a little like the last plant to be chosen in the branch raffle!

Excellent. Thank you.
