SEDUM • Sionecrop

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. 
It will be happy and so will the gardener.
