Sedums:

Large increase in varieties!  Both upright, trailing, and groundcover.  Watch for updates!  You "sedum" here first! 

Sedums are a popular rock garden item, ground cover, landscape accent, and are increasingly used in the new movement to "green roof" architecture.  The green roof concept is not new and has been in use in the far east for hundreds of years.  The popular "Chubby Fingers" sedum is one of the most widely used roof-top sedums in Japan.  The small, trailing sedums used for this purpose are ideal due to the hardy rugged nature of the species.  They are cold and drought tolerant and the fine roots do not damage roof materials.  They also do not produce large amounts of dry material which cold become a fire hazard.

The upright types have been popular for years as landscape accents and borders.  Sedums are care free and rugged tolerating all but the wettest of conditions.  Plus, the uprights feature a four season interest.
