#Succulent #Sedum & Stunning #Irises! #flowers #pink

Our most durable perennials are Bearded Irises, which bloom in the Spring, and Sedum, which bloom in Autumn. We must love pink because we have an abundance of pink Bearded Irises and pink Sedum in our garden! Bearded Irises and Sedum are very easy to maintain. Most importantly, Bearded Irises provide dependable blooms every Spring, and Sedum provide dependable blooms every Autumn.

The top left photo in the collage is Stonecrop Sedum. We love sedum plants because they are very easy to maintain; provide beautiful fall blooms, and interesting leaf textures and colors. Stonecrop Sedum has cobalt blue leaves with magenta blooms. The leaves feel good to the touch. If you lightly touch the leaves, they slightly tickle your hand! This is a perfect example of letting nature absorb your stress. Stonecrop Sedum also re-seeds very easily. You will notice new plants blooming in areas close to the original plant. Bonus tip for beginner gardener: If you like free plants, you can always transplant self-seeding plants into a pot or another garden location. For details on transplanting plants, click here.

The top right photo is “Tropical Butterfly” Bearded Iris. It’s Spring in the Mid-Atlantic area of the U.S. and we are excited to see our “Tropical Butterfly” Iris blooming! if you will notice, we don’t have many Irises blooming because the Irises have become crowded. When you view the below video, you will see an excellent example of many Iris plants with no blooms. The secret forcing Iris blooms is to dig up and divide Irises, which you can learn about here.

The bottom left photo in the collage is “Lady Friend” Bearded Iris. It’s Spring in the Mid-Atlantic area of the U.S. and our “Lady Friend” Bearded Iris are blooming! These Irises are so beautiful in color that they remind us of raspberry lollipops! We have more Irises this year because it rained quite a bit this Spring. Therefore, we have learned that Irises like to stay hydrated. To learn the secret to continuous Iris blooms every year, click here.

The bottom right photo in the collage is Sedum Autumn Joy. Sedum Autumn Joy is a large sedum, a succulent plant that blooms pretty pink flowers in the fall. It is very easy to maintain, just remove dead foliage in early spring. When the sedum is young and just planted, fertilize lightly with organic fertilizer, such as Espoma PT18 Plant Tone, 18-Pound. Attract bees to your garden with Sedum Autumn Joy! We have noticed deer damage on our Sedum Autumn Joy, so if you spot deer damage, we recommend an excellent deer repellent Bobbex Deer Repellent 32 oz. Ready To Use Spray – B550110.
