Sedum (Stonecrop)
Sedum is a diverse genus of succulent plants known for their fleshy, water-storing leaves and star-shaped flowers that bloom in late summer to fall. Commonly called stonecrop, sedums are incredibly drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and adaptable, making them popular in rock gardens, borders, ground covers, containers, and green roofs.
There are two main types:
-
Upright Sedum (e.g., Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’): Clump-forming with tall stems and large flower heads.
-
Creeping Sedum (e.g., Sedum spurium, Sedum acre): Spreads horizontally, ideal for ground cover.
Flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, and foliage comes in shades of green, blue, red, or variegated patterns.
