Sedums are good subjects for the drier loca¬ 
tions in the rock garden also in walls, they 
withstand long periods of drought with 
impunity, all prefer sunshine. An absurdly 
long list of varieties is often seen, distinc¬ 
tions are so trifling that even experts can 
hardly find them.

teresting plant.
