Sedums (stonecrops) are easy plants with succulent foliage, often brightly coloured, either all year or at certain seasons. In this group are the small varieties, suitable for rock gardens, raised beds and troughs. There are clusters of starry flowers, often yellow, but there are also pink and white ones.

Sedum (Phedimus) middendorffianum has low-growing rosettes of bronze-green leaves, in summer thick with golden yellow, starry flowers, followed by reddish seed-heads.
