Description
Hens and Chicks Kalinda is the one with the bluish and rosy flowers that add so much as a ground cover. Be sure to give this one dry dry ground.
About the Sedums: These perennial plants enjoy gritty, fast-draining soil, and must have full hot sun. They're really desert plants, so give them sharp drainage. (Sedums are often called Succulents, due to their thickened moisture-retentive leaves, and yes, the short ones include the famous Hen and Chicks from grandmothers garden.)
Once Sedums are established, you've assured yourself of loads of perennial interest for the later months when most garden flowers are gone.
