Wednesday Vignette, sedum table!

Last week — when I posted photos of my fern table — several friends who live in sunnier, dryer, climes lamented they wouldn't be able to enjoy such a thing in their gardens. So I couldn't help but think of you all when I spotted this sunny Sedum table over the weekend ...

Now granted it is a little underwhelming...but maybe it will give you a jumping off point with which to start? Oh and I think that "not a sedum" may be a Lewisia?

Weather Diary, May 30: Hi 60, Low 54/ Precip heavy mist/drizzle for 16 hours that resulted in just a trace, officially.

  2. We are lucky to live in a climate where both types of "tables" can succeed. A sedum table and even mixed succulents is a terrific idea with less demanding plants.

  3. Oh yes! I think I Pinned a video on making a tabletop, mini crevice garden with sedums and other small, drought-tolerant plants. In fact, I was thinking of doing one, as well as the fern table. Sedums can be very interesting when mixed up.

  4. You and I talked about this before, but I still haven't acted on it. Hopefully summer won't be over by the time I do... Granted, I currently have more plants that would befit a shady kind of fern table, but the idea of a similar thing for a sunny spot is highly appealing. I have a couple of ferns that like a little more sunshine. Maybe not quite as hot as sedums, but a bit more than some of the others. Even if only imaginary, it's fun to try out different compositions in my head! :)

    1. Nope. I just redid my trio of sunny dish planters, that's close enough.

  6. I just made some of these for the roof deck in giant bark rounds as my base
    May be a temporary installation ;) seasonal anyway

  7. Your fern table is more fanciful. I'm afraid even a sedum table would have to be protected from summer's heat here.

    1. Well there's got to be a few succulents out there that would be happy, where there's a will there's a way...

  8. Very nice. The older I get, the more I appreciate the succulent plants--especially in colorful groups, as you show. But ferns are nifty, too!

  9. Easy to envision it filled in. Plus you can move it to get the right amount of sun.

    1. True! Although I know lifting the 18" slab I planted on before I planted on it was enough for me. I can't imagine how heavy it is now.

  10. Pretty sure you have to figure out its forever home before loading up one of those heavy slabs with plants and rocks and...whatever. Interesting twist on the fern table theme.
