    I have a sedum plant growing in a pot. What should I do with it for winter? Checked Google but got no answers! Do you think I should try to plant? BTW I live in SW Michigan and we get freezing temps in witer (coming soon!) ??

    the issue .. simply put is liquid water ... on a frozen media ... you know.. those days where its warm enough for snow thaw ... or rain.. rather than snow ...


    the media.. which is chosen for drainage.. all of a sudden.. being frozen soil.. does not drain ...


    a secondary issue is the freeze/thaw cycles in very late winter ...


    once the media is frozen.. just dont let water accumulate ... heck i have extra garbage can lids .. kids saucers .. cardboard anything.. to just shield ... rose cones ... or deflect liquid water ... JUST DONT LET HEAT ACCUMULATE UNDER ANYTHING ...


    when its still winter.. but basically spring.. early march.. z5 ... take the stuff off.. no waiting until may ... lol .. let nature bring them out of dormancy..


    do NOT let any heat accumulate .. so i would prefer full shade ... house.. bench.. deck ... etc ...


     


    This is from a forum I found.  The response is from Adrian MI. Here's the website:

     See my other answer, clu.  Hope it helps.

    Thanks for the link! I'm going to try different things for my plant and hope that all of them work! My plant has green leaves outlined in red! I haven't found a good picture of it, but it is spectacular! Maybe someday I will learn how to post pictures on the web!

    What's a Sedum plant ?

    It looks like a succulent! The leaves are green and red! The flower clusters are lavender colored! It's a beautiful plant!

    And you wonder why I get so frustrated with you. THIS IS NOT AN ANSWER to the question. LOOK IT UP. You have a computer; you have a search bar. LOOK IT UP.
