Fields of Sedum

The sedum has expanded quite a bit and now produces many, many flowers. I have never seen any bugs eating it, though. Nevertheless, it is quite attractive.

Sedum Flower

We have a ton of sedum and it all started from just one pot from Nature by Design. This stuff is good native ground cover. Spreads well, but not too aggressively. Keeps down the weeds, provides pollen and color. Green all year round. It's a tough and attractive little plant. It really shines in the spring when it is especially green and it also makes these tiny white flowers. Perhaps most importantly, it requires no water beyond rainwater and makes a great xeroscapeing plant. Grows easily from cuttings so propagation is a breeze. Also...it's a great plant for green roofs. I almost want a green roof, just to try it out.
