the others will grow almost anywhere without care or attention. Despite their meager 
needs they are all very worthwhile and desirable additions to every rock garden. In 
fact a garden would be incomplete without a good collection of sedums. 
Sedum acre. This first of the list is the weediest we grow. It makes attractive mats of 
tiny evergreen leaves on quickly spreading stems about 2 inches high, In May and 
June it is completely covered with masses of light yellow flowers. Color, HCC 
602, Mimosa Yellow. It is useful for covering bare ground in out of the way places. 
Sedum acre minor. An extremely dwarf and slow growing form of the preceeding. It 
makes very dense mats of tiny dark green leaves only about one inch high, with 
bright yellow flowers in spring. This is an acre that behaves itself. 
Sedum album murale. An improved form of this well known plant. A fast spreader with 
dark reddish-green tiny cylindrical leaves on creeping stems about 3 inches high. 
In winter the foliage turns deep purple. It has very attractive white flowers in airy 
sprays in June and July. Plant it in a wall where it cannot spread out of bounds.

dense clusters of vivid deep red flowers in September and October. This is my

crevices, -
