Sedum is, by far, one of the most varied genus of the Plant Kingdom.  Over 400 species grace this line of plants and within that there are numerous more varieties.  I will focus on a few in the hopes that this will spark you to ask questions and do your own research on these marvelous plants.     Basically, Sedum is a succulent, most are trailing but some are upright, colors ranges from gold to blue to red and all are very tough.  Several are cold hardy here in Oklahoma and others are tropical and make great house plants.

 If anyone out there has "dirt" instead of "soil," then Guara is for you.  Let me introduce you to this little wonder: Guara lindheimeri is a perennial that will grow in every state, hot or cold.  Typically two to four feet tall and wide and never needs dividing.  It can take drought or wet conditions provided it is planted in well draining soil; here in Oklahoma, we add a lot of composted pine bark mulch to achieve that.  You can expect blooms all season, spring to fall.  Deadheading is not necessary but will encourage faster rebloom and discourage self seeding.  All varieties have flowers in the white/pinkish to red family but they will provide different effects.
