That's my favorite sedum, can't go wrong with it. I pull off pieces and tuck them in everywhere. Most of the time my garden is all about foliage, not always something blooming so I try to vary the foliage colors for contrasts so it's not just a sea of green. It's always a work in progress. Sometimes I am just in a hurry to plop something in the ground and then as it fills in and I stand back, I don't like that the greens are all the same. If I find something in lime green foliage and it works in my garden, I try to get more of the same and repeat it. So I do a lot of blue/gray/silver foliage with lime/chartreuse and bronze plants mixed with the greens.
The overcast skies the last couple of days make for better pictures, i hate taking pictures in full sun. This is my absolute favorite grass, the Orange New Zealand Sedge. Planted in the full sun, it really retains this color, in a bit of shade like another one I have, it gets too green. I will be moving that one. It is a great contrast with blue greens.
