What is Sedum?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let’s start with the Sedum plant itself. Sedum, also known as stonecrop, is a diverse genus of succulent plants that thrive in various climates, from hot and humid southern states to temperate coastal regions and even the cold, snowy North. These hardy perennials belong to the Crassulaceae family and are known for their ability to store water in their thick, fleshy leaves, making them exceptionally drought-resistant. There are over 400 species of Sedum, ranging from low-growing ground covers to taller varieties with striking, upright stems. In green roofs, primarily low-growing Sedum species are used, as they form a dense, soil-covering blanket without adding excessive weight. Sedum is a slow-growing plant, which means it requires little to no pruning, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for sustainable roofing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
