    Ok, I picked up a plant at Walmart the other day back in the "greenhouse' section. As usual the tag said Asst succulents...ever so helpful. I am assuming it is an outside plant because of where I found it, it looks like some variety of sedum, large almost hand sized semi-circular shaped leaves growing in a clump from the earth. The tops are red tinged. If anyone can point me to images etc so that I know whether I am going to put this out in my rock garden (Z 3/4)or keep it in the house on my plant shelves.

    thanks

    Woo Hoo..think thats it. Glad I asked before planting instead of just assuming that because it was in the "outside" plant area that it was an outdoor plant, it would never have survived my -35c winters and I would have been EXTREMELY pissed. You would think that they would have kept it in the garden center inside - at least in my area, or provided a zone listing, or something.

    Now silly question -what is the difference between the 2 and how would I tell which it is.

    THANKS
