I had two plants. One I planted in my mini bed that has a lot of soil and it didn't over winter. Then someone traded me a sedum and that piece was connected to the batch of sedum. It's since crawled and leaped into a nice patch on a gravel patch under my ginkgo tree. Remember its the old driveway so I guess it likes the fact there is little soil there?

What a sweet little bloom.

I tried planting brass buttons with my pot of moss, but it tried taking over so the BB got composted. maybe i should have given it a spot in the garden.

Speaking of tiny things, today I bought a creeping thyme, "Elfin" and it has the smallest leaves I have ever seen...

I like the idea of it planted in the gravel, might have to give it another try, I have just the right spot now.

Boo, I wanted to tell you that I looked for this plant at three different nurseries, and finally found it..It is pretty big, so i am going to break it into four plants for our new faerie garden, and when I bought it ,there must be 50 buds on it...

Thanks for enabling me...my daughter really likes this one..

Wow! That must have been a big pot of it. I hope it does well for you. I have about the same amount I started with but it creeps to a different spot each year.

Boo it is hanging out of the pot...BUT I want it to be small for the faerie garden..I am going to do it inside of our bench that is on the porch, so anything I put inside I want to be small.

I am still looking for a few more ideas, cant find too much here locally.
