    I bought them from a garden stall at a gala, but I was in a rush so just asked what colour flowers they grew, payed for them and rushed off. Both grow yellow flowers and are suitable for baskets.

    The spikey one is some sort of sedum, a drought resistant succulent, good for being on a wall top.

    The trailing one is Lysimachia nummularia. The other one is some type of Sedum:gnthb:

    Thankyou!!!! After googling I've now got Sedum Reflexum and the Lysimachia nummularia looks like it's going to be beautiful when it flowers!

    Going to go see how to look after them now, thankyou very much for your quick responses! :)

    Yeah, the Lysimachia does look like it's going to need to be kept in check on a regular basis. This is fine though, I have a whole fence it can crawl along, and it will certainly brighten the garden up. :D
    I plan on moving it away from everything else, so it just has the fence to contend with and won't upset any other plants.
