ReplyDeleteArizona Sun is one of the cultivars of the plant.
Too bad I didn't catch the original post because I would've IDed this one in a heart beat. A neighbor grows it and the seeds are scattered by the birds all over the place.
ReplyDeleteNice plant when it stays put.
YAY!
ReplyDeleteGood job and good luck :) it's lovely!
ReplyDeleteI found some of those in Texas once in my brother in law's old yard. I saved seeds from it and a yellow coneflower. I have only gotten them to germinate once and accidentally left the baby at a rented house garden. :( Aren't they pretty! You have got so much blooming already! Lucky Floridian!
ReplyDeleteI was going to say Blanket Flower as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie, Thanks for coming to my blog. I hope you come back often. I am enjoying looking at yours. The word, succulent, caught my attention --since I blogged about our succulents today.
ReplyDeleteCan you grow Autumn Joy Sedum down in FL???? If so, try it... It's GREAT. The flowers start out light pinkish in late spring/early summer... They bloom until late Fall---and turn colors with the season change. They end up being a dark rust color in late fall. Neat Succulents.
Hugs,
Betsy
I'm glad you got the ID. I've never seen it before, but it's very nice.
ReplyDeleteI am happy for you and your joy is made complete Julie.
