Sedum (stonecrop) is a low-growing succulent prized for fleshy foliage and clusters of starry flowers that attract bees and butterflies, making it ideal for rock gardens, borders, containers and dry slopes in the Willamette Valley; it prefers full sun to light afternoon shade and fast-draining soil. Plant in spring or fall, water sparingly once established, avoid winter waterlogging, and expect hardy, low-maintenance performance in roughly USDA zones 3–9 with occasional pruning or division to rejuvenate clumps.
