The sedum family includes more than 500 species of plants, which share a common feature of thick, fleshy leaves, which make them able to survive long periods of drought and heat.Low species, such as acute sedum, are perfect for rock gardens, while tall ones, such as sedum and Carpathian, in ornamental bedding.
Sedum plants make a successful combination with both ornamental grasses and drought-resistant perennials, such as woolly purgatory and three-nerve anaphalis. Because they are characterized by a magnificent autumn coloration, they are also suitable for arranging with asters, rudbeckia and anemones.After flowering, the place of flowers is taken by pretty seed boxes, which are a valuable decoration of the winter garden.
