Italian Honeybees forage Sedum "Autumn Joy" |
This is the clump of Sedum "Autumn Joy", I moved Tuesday. It was wrinkly and grey from drought. Light as a feather. Watered every other day. Now, Saturday, flowers are opening and the honeybees are foraging.
On this sedum, I see only honeybees. Some of the other plants have bumblebees, small bees, or combination of all three.
Lessons learned:
1. Sedum "Autumn Joy" is very drought tolerant.
2. Even so, it's possible to make it wilt by not watering.
3. The wilted sedum can be dug up and moved easily.
4. With several good waterings, the plant will plump up and make a handsome "shrub" in a few days.
5. Sedum "Autumn Joy" is very easy to transplant when dry.
