Salvia azurea 
SEDUM • Stonecrop 
The Sedums may be considered the main¬ 
stay of the rock-garden. Given an inch of 
dirt for their roots and a few drops of water 
two or three times during the Summer, they 
will thrive amazingly. Give your other plants 
the best soil in the rockery but reserve your 
Sedums for the crevices, dry spots, and poor¬ 
est places you can find among the rocks. If a 
rock has a hollow on top, put a few handfuls 
of earth there and plant one of the dwarf 
Sedums and it will be happy and so will the 
gardener. The varieties we offer below are 
all distinct from each other and are some of 
the best varieties in cultivation.
