I recently purchased these succulents/sedums at the local farmers market. I was told that the first 3 (pics 1-4) were hardy for zone 7 but the seller didn't know what they were called. I could really use some help with their names so I can go and find out more about them. I'm just starting to get into this area for both outside and houseplants. My (very uneducated) guess is that the first 2 may be in in the saxifraga family. The last 3 pictures are houseplants in the same pot. The smaller green one seems to be turning color - I must be doing something wrong. I've seen some similar ones to the tall one and I think were called Kalanchoe? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

THANK YOU! so much Lily. I love the Panda Plant. I have many kinds of Hens & Chicks and I would have never guessed. Yes, they are crammed in that pot and now that I got the pics on I can take them out and replant them. Thanks Again.

The first is Sedum platycladus. Some call it Rhodiola platycladus, as seen at the following site:

The 2nd & 3rd pic seem to be Saxifraga...I don't know which.

The 4th looks very similar to Sedum sarmentosum, but I'd need to see flowers for a positive ID.

The plant in the 5th & 6th is Kalanchoe tomentosa.

The last is Sedum rubrotinctum 'Aurora'.
