Sedum, Assorted
Description
Sedum, commonly known as stonecrop, is a diverse group of succulent plants known for their hardiness and low maintenance. They feature fleshy leaves and a variety of forms, from ground covers to upright varieties. Sedums are popular for their ability to thrive in poor soil conditions and their vibrant, star-shaped flowers that attract pollinators.
Suggested Uses
Sedums are ideal for rock gardens, borders, and as ground covers. They are also excellent for container gardening and green roofs due to their drought tolerance and minimal care requirements.
