Does anybody know the name of this plant/weed? They are springing up everywhere in my rear garden. It will also flower soon me thinks!
Kindest regards

I always knew it as Ice Plant as a child, it is one of the Sedum's I 'think' Autumn Joy'!

I've seen it in other gardens, standing upright, but mine like to lie down lol

Thankyou so much, mine is lying down to.

Sedum spectabile, also known as Ice Plant - loved by butterflies and bees. Mine flop too.

Paul, yours looks quite nice lying down on a circular shape.
5 Sep, 2011
Yeah Paul, how did you get them to grow in a circle like that? lol

Yes sedum, to avoid flopping divide the clump and sometimes if in shade this can cause flopping.

Ah - mine's in the shade of a big hebe - maybe I'll move it then.

Autumn Joy is what I suggested

i'd say autumn joy too. I grow mine up/through other plants then they support each other.

Thankyou everybody, I'm learning fast. Autumn Joy it is then. I'll post another picture when it's in full bloom.

That pretty much looks like full bloom to me

That's what I was thinking. What you see is what you get, Pauli.

Well there you go, lol. Thanks everybody.

It's not a weed, but I dunno what it is. I got a clump of it from one of my neighbours. I'm curious to see what it is as well.
