These varieties develop large, showy flower heads that bloom from late summer through fall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All sedums thrive in well-drained soil and are incredibly drought-tolerant, making them ideal for areas with dry conditions.<\/p>\n<h2>Easy Care for Sedum<\/h2>\n<p>Sedum is a fantastic choice for both seasoned and beginner gardeners.
