    I haven't got a clueimage



    In the sticks near Peterborough
  • I can't go to bed until I know!  It looks so familiar but I can't think of a name and it's driving me crazy.  Looks like sedum tricolor but the leaves are too pointed.  It also looks like 2 plants meshed together as the one on the left seems very different.

  • I think the variegated bit with the reddish tinge could well be Arabis fernandi-coburgii 'Variegata' - mine sometimes goes a bit reddish when it's stressed.  I think the grey leaves are a red herring (so to speak) - something caught up in the arabis, perhaps.

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Thanks for the help, and Thank you very much Joe I have been googling images and pretty certain that you've sent me down the right road  image

  • I've googled it but I can't find any pictures where the leaves have that red tinge Lirio.  But I have to sleep so I'm bookmarking this one or else I'll never find it tomorrow.

  • Don't you think the leaves are too pointed for sedum Tetley?

    Haha, wow there's a lot more responses now, i take it that i shouldn't settle at Euonymus then? I wondered if it might be the Emerald Geity?

  • The leaf arrangement isn't right for Euonymus, and those thin trailing stems are different too.  I'm still sticking with Arabis... but it'd be great to see what Nut thinks of the suggestion.  image

  • And there are a few images on the net showing some with reddish leaves...
