Description

The Sedum genus comprises 420 species, making it the largest family within the Crassulaceae. The genus was named perennial of the year in 2011. Tall-growing species are known as stonecrop or fat leaf, while carpet-like growing species are known as stonecrop. The low-growing species are at their best in rock and gravel gardens. These robust plants are ideal for low-maintenance greening of walls and roofs. Tall-growing species show their strengths in herbaceous borders. Sedums also cut a fine figure in troughs and tubs. Sedum species have an ornamental aspect with their decorative growth, even without flowers. This means that hardy species help to beautify gardens and parks in winter. When sedum blooms, no butterfly can resist. The nectar-rich flowers are real insect magnets and provide a rich source of food.
