Sedum

Aug 8, 2024

Sedums, also known as stonecrops, are a diverse group of succulent perennials that bring texture and color to the garden. These hardy plants are beloved for their fleshy, water-storing leaves and clusters of star-shaped flowers that bloom in late summer and fall. Sedums come in various shapes and sizes, from ground covers to upright varieties, making them versatile additions to any garden design.

Originating from regions with rocky or sandy soils, Sedums are incredibly drought-tolerant and thrive in full sun to partial shade. They require well-drained soil and minimal watering once established, making them perfect for low-maintenance gardens in Cedarburg. Sedums also perform well in containers and rock gardens, adding interest and diversity to your landscape.

In addition to their low maintenance, Sedums are excellent for attracting pollinators. Their late-season blooms provide a valuable nectar source for bees and butterflies. Whether used as ground cover, in borders, or in rock gardens, Sedums add beauty and ecological value to your garden.
