The 2025 spring growth has begun ... Give it a few more days / a week or so and we'll cut back the old growth, and possibly collect a few seeds. I am thinking about dividing the original plant - the repotting involved will encourage extra steams and flowers.

Sadly, the bulbs aren't doing very well - maybe some more dud compost or frost damage ? [when I dug them up several weeks later, they were infested with maggots / eelworms, so the whole lot was binned, and the pot has been carefully sterilised and put aside] However, the Ice Plant is putting on lots of growth ...

In the gardens outside the museum at Chesterholm - an Ice Plant [Sedum spectabile] but with whiter flowers than the one we've growing at home. Equally attractive to bees and butterflies ...

aka Hylotelephium spectabile, Butterfly stonecrop. Can grow to 18" or slightly more, with pinkish flowers which are attractive to butterflies - prefers bright sun and a well drained (sandy) soil. Despite appearing to be a succulent, it is actually classed as "hardy perennial" and is able to withstand frosts. Bought "on spec" from a very small local plant / garden centre a year or two ago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hylotelephium_spectabile
