sedumkasveja

Sedumkasveja, commonly known as sedums or stonecrops, are a large genus of succulent plants in the family Crassulaceae. These plants are characterized by their fleshy leaves and stems, which store water, allowing them to thrive in arid conditions. Sedums are found in various habitats worldwide, particularly in rocky and dry areas. Their adaptability makes them popular for rock gardens, borders, and as ground cover.

The genus Sedum encompasses a wide range of species, from low-growing groundcovers to upright, shrub-like varieties. Leaf shapes and colors vary greatly, including shades of green, blue, purple, and red. Many sedum species produce star-shaped flowers, often in clusters, that bloom in late summer and fall. These flowers are typically in shades of white, pink, red, or yellow and are attractive to pollinators.

Sedums are generally low-maintenance plants, requiring minimal watering once established. They prefer well-draining soil and full sun, although some varieties can tolerate partial shade. Their drought tolerance makes them ideal for xeriscaping and areas where water conservation is important. Propagation is often easy through stem cuttings or leaf cuttings. Common garden varieties include Sedum acre, Sedum spurium, and Sedum spectabile. Their resilience and diverse forms contribute to their widespread appeal in landscaping and horticulture.
