The Sedum has been especially enjoyable this cool and cloudy summer. (According to my electric bill, the average daily temperature for June was 59°.) My deck has a southern exposure and no shade at all. Usually, the Sedum blooms for a day or two and then dries up for the season or at least the flowers go away and I'm left with the green part of the plant which eventually dries out and dies for the season -- and then returns the next year. With all the cool temperatures and cloudy days, the little yellow star-shaped flowers have lasted for several weeks!

Sedum.1
Years ago, I added this perennial, Sedum, to my planter. I'm not certain of the name. It may be Sedum Gold Mound but I think that plant grows into a rounded tuft. Maybe this is a Sedum Stonecrop Angelina. I do remember the name "Stonecrop" from the tag when I purchased the plant but I thought it also had "Gold" or "Carpet" in its name. The planter already had some other rock garden type plants including Hen and Chicks which have survived to this day but are quite small this summer.
