Hello Debra,
Others have mentioned Sempervivums and Sedums as hardy
succulents. May I also suggest you look into several sedum look-alikes? While
not quite as hardy in general, Delosperma has become quite popular for its
blooms as well as succulent foliage, size variation. From South Africa
mountains. Great hypertufa trough plants. Orostachy or Dunce Caps is another
area to play in. Books have been written about the various Saxifrage. The native
Lewisa from the Rockies is another great rock garden or trough plant. There are
others, but that is all I can think of off hand... at least that I have
personally grown here.
