Plant of the Day

Sunday 22 October 2023

Best grown in full sun Hylotelephium telephium (Atropurpureum Group) 'Karfunkelstein' (sedum, stonecrop, orpine) produces masses of small individual pink flower heads during late summer and these persist into the winter providing structure and colour. The new fleshy foliage growth had a purple/blue sheen.

So common and sweet to the heart

So this was on the 1st of February

HOW IS SPRING COMING SO EARLY?!?!

We literally didn’t have any winter in south Sweden. Just autumn, extended edition.

Anyways, my grape hyacinths are starting to pop up (also orpine in the middle). No signs of the tulips yet. I’ll post updates!
