Planted a few weeks ago. The bigger leafy ones I cant remember the name of.

Are they all hardy?

Yes I belive so, all except the "no name" one grew outside in the botanical garden in Gothenburg here in sweden.

Nice collection and beautiful garden kristian!

Nice!

Watch out for that leptinella though. Once it gets a foothold, it will go everywhere. Pretty hard to control. I use it as a ground cover sometimes, but only in small potted ´landscapes´ as to contain it.

Thanks! I watch out for the Leptinella, it has already sent out some runners, I will keep an eye on it. Also I fount that the Azorella trifurcata did survive the transplant, all but one branch went brown and dry, but I belive it will make it.

Well, really cold winter here in the north, we had some weeks straight with -20C to -25C... 30cm of snow insulated them nicely, but the thaw and freeze afterward got to them hard.

The Leptinella squalida died, but that did not do anything as I had planing on remove it due to the aggressiv growth. It would had run over everything else really soon anyways. Sempervivum tectorum just turned red and took it like nothing...

Enjoying the sun.

nice, great attention to the little details, turned out great!

I love this set up, been trying to think of a way to pant multiple species in the same box, the rocks are a nice natural touch.

This is great, i'm going to steal some of these ideas

Me too - but have to make it portable (cold snowy winters and all <G>). Great looking rock garden.

Steal away . All species in this garden is winter hardy, they stay outside all the time here in Sweden.

Snow is actually good, helps protect the plants. Winter rains, like we get here on the West side, are worse - but hardy Sedums and Sempervivums can even take that, as long as drainage is good. In Yakima, there's a number of hardy Cacti you could include, even - here, only Opuntia fragilis has a chance.

rocks are nice, i might copy the idea
