Sedums, like Hostas and have become staples in American perennial gardens in recent years. These incredible plants are now at or near the top of everyone's list of the best perennial flowers of them all.
Sedums add color from midsummer through early fall, when most other flowers are waning. And they light up with bright flower heads giving any garden a needed lift for weeks. Like other valuable mainstays of perennial display, the bloom lasts for week and weeks.
