Sedum Sedum grow in a wide range of heights and spread. From very low creeping groundcover varieties, to tall upright varieties, these hardy perennials are perfect for most gardens. Their thick fleshy leaves indicate a wonderful water retention ability even in the most severe drought.
Low spreading types make a tight weed resistant groundcover or weep gracefully over rock walls in sunny dry areas. Many of this type are evergreen and bloom in early summer.
Upright varieties come in short to very tall heights and have a more clump forming habit, some clumps large enough to be more like a shrub. The flower heads begin forming during the summer, then explode in colors of pinks and burgundy just in time for autumn leaf changing season.
All sedum varieties are low maintenance, requiring little water or fertilizer to thrive in your garden.
