Sedum is a large and diverse family of succulents, ranging from ground covers to shrubs. Their foliage is highly varied in form and colour. Star-shaped flowers appear mainly in summer and attract butterflies and other insects to the garden. Sedum are extremely adaptable plants and can grow in a wide range of harsh conditions and require very little care once established. Use these undemanding plants to transform your mixed succulent arrangements, rockeries, succulent gardens, path ways, containers, hanging baskets, retaining walls and even green roofs or living walls. They are excellent plants for beginners to the world of succulents.
