All about the Sedum

The Sedum, also known as Fatwort, is quite something! A strong plant that blooms late in the summer, with beautiful little flowers.

This flower is a keeper. The name Sedum is derived from the Latin word sedeo, meaning 'to sit' or 'to remain'. This refers to the habit of some Sedum species to grow on rocky surfaces.
