Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A big, fleshly leaved sedum that looks for all the world like something that would be tender, but has proved otherwise, apparently even hardy to zone 4. An upright grower to a foot or more with clusters of yellow flowers in early summer. Quite a nice plant, I'm not sure why it isn't more commonly grown. -Joseph
