    It was covering the membrane that used to be down on my front garden and we used some of the stones from there to put in the rear garden and I think I carried it with the stones so now its gone from the front garden, its still appearing in the back garden...any ideas what is it and what it does..I know its an alpine plant because I spotted it at B+Q but cant remember what the label said. I originally thought it was some sort of weed ooops lol

    now you've said it, im sure thats what the ticket said...however, there are so many different types of sedum. Do you think it could be useful anywhere?

    lol no way! that makes sense tho, because I certainly didnt plant it in the rear garden. Maybe I should have used some in the front gardens raised bed...

    Nice to know its not a weed tho

    Use it in some reasonably sunny spot where a low consistent mat will be nice. Not for walking on it though. I love carpeting sedums, they look plump, and they bloom prettily. ;)
