A good plant for a dry situation. This succulent is often
used as a ground cover, especially the smaller varities. Sedum has thick leaves with various colors and sizes. Blue sedum has bluish-green foilage, other types have yellow- green, reddish, or varigated leaves. Many types hug the ground and grow only four inches tall. Blue sedum has yellow flowers that grow on stalks in the spring. All sedums need full sun and good drainage. A soggy soil is death for sedum. Any piece of stem roots easily in slightly moist soil. Some sedums bloom in late spring. The variety pictured is "Autumn Joy", which grows about 18 inches high, blooms in September and is a favorite of butterflies. . |
