SEDUM. Stonecrop. (Crassulaceae, Orpine Family) 
To many people, a Sedum is a bad weed that overruns the whole garden, killing 
all the little plants it encircles, and with all the weeding in the world, it cannot be 
exterminated. Formerly these rampant invaders were offered in catalogues as choice 
rock plants, but people have learned their lesson and are trying to avoid them, How- 
ever, some may still be found in lists of general nursery stock. 
None of the Sedums listed below are weedy. A few of them are slow spreaders, 
but they act like gentlemen at a Tea Party. The majority are clump forming, coming up 
year after year exactly where you planted them.

purple stems with blue-gray, thick, fleshy leaves. Large clusters of deep rose
