Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

This group of sedums, commonly called stonecrop, is a tough, drought tolerant species with rounded, succulent-like leaves and star-like, early summer flowers. They grow about 6 inches tall (including the flower) and twice as wide (or more if you're patient). Great for rock gardens, parkstrips, and at the edges of pathways.
