'''''Sedum''''' is a large [[genus]] of [[flowering plant]]s in the family [[Crassulaceae]], members of which are commonly known as '''stonecrops'''. It contains around 400 species of leaf [[succulents]] that are found throughout the [[Northern Hemisphere]], varying from [[Annual plant|annual]] and creeping [[Herbaceous plant|herbs]] to [[shrub]]s. The plants have water-storing leaves. The flowers usually have five [[petals]], seldom four or six. There are typically twice as many [[stamen]]s as [[petals]].
Well known European ''Sedums'' are ''[[Sedum acre]]'', ''[[Sedum album]]'', ''[[Sedum dasyphyllum]]'', ''[[Sedum reflexum]]'' (also known as ''Sedum rupestre'') and ''[[Sedum hispanicum]]''.
Many sedums are [[Horticulture|cultivated]] as [[garden]] plants, due to their interesting and attractive appearance and hardiness. The various species differ in their requirements; some are cold-hardy but do not tolerate heat, some require heat but do not tolerate cold.
