Sedums, also called stonecrops, are the champions of hardiness. Many have adapted to have succulent leaves in order to survive through the hottest and dryest of summers. Others are equally as happy through frigid, frosty winters. Sedum is commonly used as a groundcover. The creeping plant can cover poor soil that other plants wouldn't even consider growing in. They can also cover rocks and steep slopes most vegetation would struggle on.
Although sedum doesn't die back completely in the winter, unlike most other perennials, it will grow bigger and stronger year after year. Plus, the green leaves can change appearance and turn a soft red color in winter. Sedum is one of the easiest plants to care for, as they require little maintenance and will continue to grow through virtual neglect.
