How to grow sedums for low-maintenance borders – they’re a hit with pollinators

Pink flowering sedums.

Also known as stonecrops, sedums are perennial succulent plants which produce large, nectar-rich flowerheads. Learning how to grow sedums will encourage bees and other pollinators to visit your garden, and they're a great way to brighten up borders and containers, too.

Sedums are among the best autumn-flowering perennials you can add to your garden, providing a pop of colour while other plants are dying back for the winter. As succulents, the plants are also drought-tolerant, making them a great option if you're looking for low-maintenance border plants.
