Glad to hear your vegetable garden is growing well.<br /><br />@Christine: Thank you. I imagine it's showing its full glory for you now?<br /><br />@Carolyn: I haven't noticed floppiness until late fall. When you do cut it back, do the flower tops grow back fast? You're right about this variety of Sedum not being native.

I like the way it has new growth through the winter.
