Pat I picked a variegated one last year at the big box store and after I got it home and took a closer look at it I
found some leaves at the bottom like your. I move it in the holding area away from all the other plants. What I did
do was remove the bad looking leaves and allowed it to grow. In the fall I cut it back and this year so far no problems
with the leaves. I've still haven't sunk it into the ground and since it looks better have moved it to the front door
area. Wishing you the best.

Ya know Pat, I'm one that will cut the sick stuff back to the ground and let it regrow. Ya got time on this one?

Thanks Karma. :D That's exactly what I was thinking about doing. :wink: I guess I just needed someone to encourage me to go ahead and do it. I'm thinking this might be because of our cold, wet spring. I've never seen this on any of the sedums before. Yes, I think there is plenty of time and there should still be some healthy looking stalks left after I cut the ugly ones off.
