Sedums are a diverse group of succulent plants belonging to the family Crassulaceae. They are known for their fleshy leaves and stems, which store water, making them drought-resistant. Sedums come in various shapes, sizes, and colors, making them popular in gardens and landscapes. These plants thrive in well-drained soil and prefer full sun, although some varieties can tolerate partial shade. Sedums are often used in rock gardens, ground covers, and green roofs due to their low maintenance and ability to attract pollinators like bees and butterflies.
