sedums
Fleshy drought-tolerant plants
Sedums are succulent plants with thick, fleshy leaves that store water, making them drought-tolerant and popular in rock gardens and green roofs.
The genus includes hundreds of species, from low-growing ground covers to upright varieties with clusters of star-shaped flowers.
Gardeners value them for thriving in poor soil with minimal care: The sedums spread across the stone wall.
