Not-So-Strange-Bedfellows


 Perennials romp in all the flowerbeds on our little property.
 As I looked at them this morning over a cup of coffe
(1/2 Folgers Gourmet and 1/2 Hazelnut cream decaf),
I realized the commonality of our plantings...
 Hosta and sedum seem to be comfortable bedfellows....
and we have several varieties of both.
"Don't mess with success," is my gardening mantra.

  1. I have been collecting more Hosta lately but I don't seem to have much luck with Sedum. I have one that is hanging with me though....

  2. I love both sedum and hosta but have never thought of planting them together before. Yours look wonderful together!

    1. Healthier than I am this spring :)
      Like never before, I'm happy that most all of our flower beds are occupied by perennials requiring very little help-along.

  5. They seem to be attractive and amiable companions. I love that hosta in the first picture with the silver/blue leaves.

    1. I agree (about the silver/blue hosta). Sure wish I knew all their names! Once on a garden/house walk in Detroit, we toured a home that had over 70 variety of hosta in their flower beds!

  6. They do all look good together and I see everything is growing really well for you this year. I believe lots of my stuff did not grow quite as big this year so I think weather affected everything a little.

    1. Yes, I can't complain. (It's hard not being able to bend over to pull weeds, etc. This season, I'm particularly thankful that I have perennials and that they are doing well on their own!) It could well be that the unusual weather affected the size of yours......
