I got into the hobby of making broken pot gardens a few years back. I absolutely love the way the sedum grew in this one and wowza, how orange it is. Any thoughts as to what kind of sedum this is?

I just went down a rabbit hole trying to figure out what a broken garden was and I’m in love!!!!🥰

This is what it started as. They are fun to make. You can find cheap or free broken pots at local nurseries.

New hobby coming up!

I’m wondering what one is?

You have a broken pot of whatever size then you use pieces of other broken pots to make sections or place however you want...

Gorgeous! I have a baby golden sedum I've had for about a year. Exciting to see what it can grow into!

I feel this would look similar if it was more mature and had higher light?

That sedum is my brightest out of all of them. It probably gets direct sun about 75% of the day.

Sedum adolphi, a very sunstressed one 😎. Love it!
