Well I just went and scoped them out and I see that I have the start of two flower buds on Atro and one on one of the Hillsides, so that's nice that at least one of them is doing something. The Hillsides are more purple than my Atro, but still have quite a bit of green foliage. I was wondering if you needed more sun to keep the darker foliage. Good luck with yours, Al!

Terese, I had Vera Jameson sedum last year and that would probably look very nice with Sun Power.

Here it the difference between Hillside Black Beauty for me and Atropurpurea..the runty Hillside in the middle and Atro. on the right. Big difference in growth rate! These get a touch of morning sun, then high shade all day, and then they get the setting sun at the end.
