Back in Black Growing Tips Macro Photo of Blooms In my Ohio hardiness zone 5b /6 garden I have been growing sedum since 2001. My first experience was with a short ground cover that blooms yellow and is super easy to propagate. After growing this plant I was addicted to finding more sedum / stonecrop because of its tolerance to my abuse. Below are just a few of the things I LOVE MOST about the Back in Black Sedum. This plant is a perennial in zones 3-9 Compact in size growing only 2.5 feet wide and tall. Drought, heat and salt tolerant making it a ‘win-win’ in most any soil. Clusters of dark red flowers that the pollinators in my garden LOVE The almost black foliage all growing season. Here are a few of my favorite photos of this plant. Select each photo for an enlarged view! It is good to take photos this time of year so to note what needs to be done. Next spring I hope to move this plant so it has more space in the garden. The perennial is too close to the Montauk Daisy. Both of these plants look amazing together! The Rock ‘N Grow ‘Back in Black’ Stonecrop is hidden in the photo above. I am sharing this photo to show the space with other perennials that look great with this sedum. I hope you get some ideas for your home garden.

How to Grow and Care for Fall Mums
In this post I share some of my personal tips on how to grow and care for Fall mums. You will see my latest video about hardy mums also known as Chrysanthemums. Mums During the Autumn season you will find many different varieties of mums (Chrysanthemums). During a recent visit to a local garden center someone asked me ‘how do you know if these will come back next year’. https://youtu.be/1t1d_pC-gf0 I have to admit, I was hesitant to answer because there are a few factors that play into the success of wintering over in our hardiness zone. One thing to keep in mind there are 2 different types of mums that are commonly found locally: Hardy Mum: Garden mums (Chrysanthemum spp.) can be hardy perennial flowers if you start them early. Hardy mums can thrive in hardiness zones 3-9. Florist Mum: large flowered plants used for cutting. Some of the bloom forms include the pompom, quilled and spider. They are grown in greenhouses and are used as indoor plants. These varieties lack enough underground runners that are necessary to survive in the cold. Button Mum in Hanging Basket Better Homes and Garden | Red Mum perennial Mum at 24″ Height Over the years I have shared many images of Fall Mums on my website and social media.
