Few flowers contribute more to the garden than the sedum. Its sturdy foliage adds texture to the garden early in the growing season. Then pink, or rosy, or white blossoms appear and stay past frost. The flower heads remain through the winter. It spreads, sending up new shoots every year to be shared with neighbors and friends. I got the sedum from my mother who got it from a neighbor. The most common kind, and my favorite as you can see, is Autumn Joy. It seems more sturdy than the white variety. Not even drought or freeze stops the spreading of this great garden plant.
