I have a" drift wood" stump with several crevices

luv herblady
I thought about the thymes or sedums but I have over used them so much! Looking for something different with a big impact! Kim
Try trailing stuff, like sweet potato vine or cascading petunias.
Variegated Vinca major. Looks cool in hanging baskets too. In zone 8 it is evergreen. You can inter plant for spring/summer/fall
Kim, I have plenty of vinca major, plain and variegated if you need some.

Orchids are great on driftwood. Use the small blooming type; like oncidiums, or Brassavola nodosa (also called Lady of the Night) Tie a handful of the long white-ish color spagnum moss onto the spot where you want your plant, then tie your plant on top of the moss. You can end up with a "living tree" effect by planting all along the branch this way. You can hang the whole thing under a tree, or stand it in a pot with stones to hold it in place. Some people even cement the base of the "tree" into a pretty pot. Hope this gives you some ideas.
It's gotta be bromeliads! They are air plants and look fabulous on interesting wood pieces!
If it is outside put mint in it. We put mint in one and it is growing very well.
i son'r know how large or deep your crevices are but how about some small bulbs. winter aconite, white or blue grape hyacinths, or if large the checkered lilies would look wonderful againt the wood.
then you could put some of your favorite annual seeds, how about some blacked eyed susan vine. they are so delicate, airy and earthy too.
please let us know what you decide to do.
