Sedum – resilient beauty for every garden

Hardy succulents for effortless gardening

Sedum, also known as stonecrop, is a genus of succulent perennials admired for their versatility, durability, and stunning seasonal color. These low-maintenance plants thrive in full sun and well-drained soil, making them perfect for rock gardens, borders, and green roofs. Their thick, water-storing leaves enable them to withstand drought, while their vibrant flowers attract bees and butterflies, making Sedum a favorite among pollinator plant enthusiasts.

Diversity of species and cultivars

The genus offers a wide range of forms—from creeping ground cover plants to upright flowering perennials. Popular varieties include Sedum autumn joy, known for its rosy blooms that age to copper, and Sedum angelina, a golden ground cover that adds brightness to sunny spots. Other favorites such as dragon’s blood, lemon coral, and ternatum bring vivid foliage and extended interest across the seasons. Collectors appreciate the many varieties available, each suited to different climates and garden designs.

Growth and care essentials

Caring for Sedum is delightfully simple. Once planted, these perennials require minimal water and no special feeding. Their drought-tolerant nature and pest resistance make them ideal for sustainable gardens. They adapt easily to containers, walls, and slopes, providing erosion control and color throughout the year. Occasional pruning helps maintain compact growth and encourage fresh foliage.
