*One of my favorites for roof tops! It can be divided by either divisions or cuttings. Plant the cuttings deep; they'll droop and wilt at first, but keep them moist and they'll perk up and look great in about a week.

*I thought this plant was annoyingly invasive until I started making the living roofs, now it's my one of my favorites! Fast growing-spreads rapidly-roots easily. After it blooms in spring the stems with the flowers somewhat die back, but don't think it's dead! It will revive and look great within a few weeks.
