- Pinching in spring can also force stems to grow thicker and bushier and avoid scraggly flopping in the summer.
The Tales: Sedum 'Chocolate Cherry'
The genus name probably honor Telephus, King of Mysia and son of Hercules but don't quote me on that.
Petroleum hydrocarbon (PHCs) pollution is a global soil ecological problem and multiple studies have shown that the S. spectabile remediation system is effective for the removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from soil, especially when assisted by two nanomaterials (nano SiO2, nano CeO2).
More importantly still is the ability to transfer the PAHs to easily harvested aboveground parts, thus facilitating the actual removal of the pollutants from the soil.
A real diamond in the rough.
