    It looks like creeping jenny, but the leaves are thicker and lighter. It feels like a succulent. According to Ron, it comes back every year and overtakes this pot completely. Anyone? plant id.JPG

    I think it is a sedum, one of the larger ones like Autumn Joy. Very hardy and it will spread but not obnoxiously. I divide mine every 2 to 3 years. If I'm right, it will bloom.

    I agree with 2ofus that it is probably a sedum, but not Autumn Joy, or at least what I know as Autumn Joy. Lovely leaves though. I like how they are in triplets along the leaf stem.

    Yeah, Ron says it will develop pretty flowers...I think he said white ones. I'm looking forward to that! Good to know that I can divide it too. He has so many large pots and only three of them are currently in use...I can't wait to fill them all with plants!!

    Looks like a cultivar of Sedum (Hylotelephium) spectabile.
