its low cushions of purple-edged blue-gray foliage. As a bonus, starry pink flowers appear in late summer and prolong the season as they slowly turn carmine.

Sedum, a large genus of fleshy-leaved plants is found
in mountains throughout the Northern Hemisphere
(a few of the 400 species live in the drier parts of
South America). They prefer well-drained soil with
a pH close to neutral (7.0) and can thrive with only
a modest level of nutrients. Some Sedums spread
quickly and may become pests. There are many
fascinating and colorful forms that are invaluable
for the rock garden; a few can be used to advantage
in the perennial border.
