Sedum

All varieties of sedum have been favorites of mine for many years as they are attractive and almost carefree.

Selections can be made from varieties growing only a few inches in height to two and a half feet and sporting foliage colors such as lime-green, blue, various variegations and numerous shades of green.

Flower colors include:

• white
• pink
• yellow
• orange-yellow
• rose-pink
• crimson-red
• rose-red
• yellow-green
• rosy-salmon
• carmine pink
• purplish-pink
• creamy-rose
• coppery-red
• violet-purple

This family of choice plants likes locations featuring full sun and its hardy well into the northern states.

Use it as a ground cover, in a trough, rock or alpine garden; some varieties make excellent hanging baskets either planted alone or in combination with other plants, or how about using one of the tall sedums as a specimen plant.

How much more can you ask from any plant family?
