TSV Sedum- Your Thoughts, Please

I haven't tried these tiles but they look beautiful. Most sedum need full sun to flower and look their best. And I imagine the sedum will spread well beyond the tile.

I am tempted but never had any luck with their line. Plus they will be shipped in March. We have at least four feet of snow on the ground right now and I know it won't be gone by March or April even. 12 foot mounds also. We do have a garage we could put in for a little while, but I think I will pass. I do have spots where I could use it though. Looks pretty.

I have an area that is mulched right now. I'm going to try to use the TSV in that area as opposed to using around walkway stones, etc. I'm also going to put some in a planter I use as an accent in another area.

My experience w/sedum is that they are VERY invasive. Pretty, but invasive. You can't contain them. I thought.......pretty, but I know my past experiences w/them.

Plants aren't supposed to be shipped until weather permits.

I have a ton of sedum in my flower beds. My neighbor gave me a small sample from her garden and now it is everywhere. Very easy to grow if you need a fill in. I've had to dig a lot up and move it around, throw some away because it is very quick growing. Sun, shade, doesn't matter here and I have different kinds.

I have some in planters that looks nice and you can count on it coming up every year.

I wanted to purchase this TSV because I read on QVC.com that they were deer resistant. I went online to a planting site (not QVC) and found that these are plants that the deer will enjoy eating so...no purchase for me.

I bought the sedum from Phillip last year,and it is thriving. I planted it in an old birdbath that cracked/broke...from that solar company a few years ago. It's doing great!

That's what I was wondering. If I have them in planters & pieces fall off, will they try to grow in my established lawn?

I don't want this if it's basically just a pretty weed!
