A search for fall foliage color doesn't always have to be high in the trees. This week we'll lower our sights and investigate a succulent plant that brings many of the colors of the rainbow during its three growing seasons of the year. Sedum seems to have so many positives for growing in sometimes difficult zone 5 gardens, and it definitely thrives in a zone 6 habitat. Low water demands and a preference for slightly alkaline soils make it a winner, even without the striking rusty red color that comes around in autumn.
Sedum is perfect for high plains gardens
