The plant family that loves a dry summer and bad soil

Water is already a scarce summer resource for many gardeners.s. One of the best plants for thesese conditions are sedums. Some creeping sedum varieties seem to defy all odds, growing where no other plant will. They happily colonise cracks in garden walls, shingle, gravel, and underneath massive trees, growing and prospering where grass won’t.

These little saviours are also time-savers. They conveniently fill difficult sites, which would otherwise grow weeds.

However, there is more to sedums than filling dry spots.
