Sedum for Groundcovers

My recommendations of the best Stonecrops
for landscape plantings

Sedum is the very best drought tolerant plant for groundcovers - textural, colourful and hardy, Sedum, or stonecrops as they're called, make a tapestry carpet of succulent foliage, with the added bonus of bright blooms in waves over the summer months.

Sedum is one of the very best plants for bees, attracting many pollinators and honeybees for the nectar and pollen in the starry pink and yellow or white flowers held high over the foliage.

I was astonished when my stock plants in the display garden started to bloom, and the wild bees and many butterflies flocked to them. I've had hours of fun watching their activities during most of July and August.

Try planting a butterfly garden to attract many of these gorgeous insects to your xeric garden.

Plant these varieties and species in the worst soil you have, and leave them alone. Requiring minimal care, they thrive on neglect.
