Sedum, or stonecrop, is a drought-tolerant perennial prized for its fleshy, succulent-like foliage and late-season blooms. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it requires minimal care and attracts pollinators while resisting deer. Available in a variety of forms, from ground covers to upright varieties, sedum is an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, and container plantings.
