Sedum:  Common Name: Ice Plant

Succulent, hardy plants that are great for dry soils in sun. The flowers are loved by bees and butterflies.

A large and varied genus with plants for rock gardens and for the border.

The only likely pest is vine weevil - try the "tug-test" in late winter. If present the brown headed, white grubs will have eaten the roots and the plants will pull out of the soil. Destroy all the grubs and replant. Sedums root again quite quickly.

Propagation is by division. It is possible to get individual leaves to form new plantlets.
