Statice Latifolia 
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. 
Some are evergreen and others cf deciduous growth. The dwarf kinds do 
well as edgings to borders or in rock gardens. Others are suitable for 
grouping in the border. 
Culture. Ordinary soil and dry, sunny borders or dry, sunny places in the 
rock garden will suit all. Spectabile, indeed, will also thrive in shade. Plant 
in autumn or spring, 4 to 8 inches apart.

created by this Sedum are outstanding. A fine novelty that should
