Sedum kamtschaticum (Orange Stonecrop, Phedimus kamtschaticus) is one of those plants that practically takes care of itself. This tough little succulent quickly forms a colorful, weed-suppressing carpet just 4-6 inches tall, covered with bright yellow star-shaped flowers in late spring and summer. As the weather cools, the foliage turns beautiful shades of orange and red, keeping the display going long after the blooms fade. It loves full sun, thrives in rocky or sandy soil, laughs at drought once established, and is perfect for rock gardens, borders, stone walls, slopes, or spilling over containers. If you're looking for an easy, low-maintenance groundcover that looks great year after year, Orange Stonecrop is a winner.

Serissa japonica (syn. Serissa foetida) - Outer-Variegated Red Stem Snow Rose.
One plant, two beautiful looks! This unusual Serissa is a special red-stem selection with seasonal variegation. During warm summer growth, the tiny glossy leaves may appear mostly green.

Perfect for bonsai, patio containers, small gardens and collectors of unusual plants. And don't be disappointed if your plant arrives green in summer: winter is when it reveals its variegated personality!

Starfish Flower, Giant Toad Flower, Carrion Flower. This spine-free succulent, Stapelia gigantea, is one of the plant world's giants and belongs to the milkweed family. It thrives in dry desert areas from Tanzania to South Africa. Its name "Carrion" comes from its unique scent that's similar to rotting meat, attracting pollinating flies who find the aroma irresistible. The standout feature of this plant is its large, fleshy star-shaped flowers, flaunting pale ochre-yellow petals with thin maroon lines. It blooms in the fall when daylight hours shorten. Despite its unusual smell, it makes for a stunning container plant with its 4-angled, succulent stems that grow upright to 8-12" before sprawling sideways. Plants in the ground can reach up to 24" wide. When it seeds, each pod looks like a mini milkweed parachute. Let's also appreciate its interesting background - the genus name honors Dutch physician Johannes Bodaeus van Stapel from the 1600s.
