  • Posted by sedumzz (Fairfax VA - Zone 7a) on Jan 23, 2022 6:36 PM concerning plant:
    Lighter, somewhat lime-colored green leaves with sometimes wavy margins.

    Long flower stalks, with clusters of flowers. Petal count seems to be high, but not really "double". The center of the flowers are brighter/yellow-er than the outside edge of the petals. Light veining. Flower color ranges from creamy white to peachy-yellow or pinkish-peach, to a somewhat vivid golden yellow depending on age.

    This variety did well on the edge of a sandy garden bed in my zone 7A garden. I'd think that this plant would be especially wonderful hanging on a slope, edge or wall, with all the flower stalks gracefully bending down.
