What\u2019s not to love about sedums? They\u2019re drought-tolerant, they attract pollinators, and they flower later in the season when not much else is going on in the garden. But they also have their drawbacks\u2014namely a proclivity to splay open (we\u2019re looking at you Autumn Joy) and look rather awful in some cases. But rest assured that today we\u2019re talking about sedums that maintain a compact habit (whether they\u2019re an upright or ground cover type), still sport gorgeous flowers, and thrive in terrible conditions. If you have full sun, lean soil, and hate plants than need a lot of pampering, then this episode is for you.\xa0
