SEDUM .- Stonecrop 
A genus of plants which vary in habit from dwarf, creeping plants to 
those of larger growth, as Spectabile, which grows about 2 feet high.

well as edgings to borders or in rock gardens. Others are suitable for 
grouping in the border.

rock garden will suit all. Spectabile, indeed, will also thrive in shade.
