In parks there are common red sedum, showy stonecrop and Sedum aizoon, but have you ever thought they could also carpet a courtyard garden? Their beauty is waiting for us to discover! Today we are going to give the courtyard something different and look at those 10 stunningly beautiful sedum varieties.

1. Sedum "Angelina"

This is a very easy-to-grow variety, or rather it needs no care at all; plant it in rock crevices and it will still propagate well. Doesn't it look a little like Sedum dasyphyllum? Its leaves are usually golden yellow, though sometimes a little emerald green, and the color is at its best in autumn and winter.

Look at its flowers, with long flower stalks and golden-yellow blooms, paired with golden-yellow leaves, that feeling of gold covering the ground! Of course it can also be grown in pots, but it won't grow as brilliantly that way.

2. Sedum spathulifolium red frost (white frost) sedum

This variety is simply adorable, a treasure really worth getting, coated in a powdery purplish-red, with a unique allure!

Of course it also has a white frost state, and with its golden-yellow flowers, you simply can't help but love it! The flowers in bud are so delicate and lovely, flowers you want to hold in your hands but are afraid of damaging!

It likes to grow in well-drained conditions with scattered light! Of course some friends love its pink-white leaves rather than its golden-yellow flowers.

3. Sedum "Tricolor"

The first time I saw it, I fell in love with this variety. It is amazingly similar to Sedum spurium 'Dragon's Blood', and apart from the difference in the variegated leaves, its care and shape are no different. Plant a large pot, and when it isn't flowering, looking at it from a distance is like it is flowering! How does that feel? It likes full sun and well-drained soil, otherwise its variegated leaves will fade.

4. Succulent Sedum spurium (Dragon's Blood sedum)

This variety is very popular in China, and people like to call it Dragon's Blood sedum. With its vivid leaves, it is already stunning even before it flowers.

The best-grown Sedum spurium has a rose-like pink with a touch of emerald green, and these leaves are much prettier than roses. Growing Sedum spurium requires full sun, but not scorching exposure, and the potting soil must not hold water.

5. Red giant wave sedum

I really love its purplish-red leaves, its scenic stems, and its bright red flowers; when it covers the ground it is very eye-catching! You simply can't look away!

But it should be planted together with green vegetation, otherwise the color being too dull is not good either!

This is a sedum plant native to the UK, with beautiful red flowers. It needs full sun and well-drained soil, with sandy soil being most suitable, and it can be grown in pots or in the ground.

6. Golden Japanese stonecrop

Would you like to fill a small yard or balcony with golden Japanese stonecrop? It propagates very quickly, and its golden leaves and golden-yellow flowers make it a beautiful sight whether it is flowering or not!

As a potted plant, it can be a beautiful companion plant for the pot; remember to prune it often, otherwise it will grow leggy! Actually its leaves already look like flowers, and its flowers are even more unique and beautiful! It likes full sun and well-drained soil.

7. Golden round-leaf Japanese stonecrop

How does golden round-leaf Japanese stonecrop differ from the variety above? Its leaves are rounder and larger, looking more delicate, and the color is not as bright! It also has very eye-catching yellow flowers and blooms in summer.

It likes scattered light for its care; scorching exposure is not good. It likes well-drained sandy soil, and its heat tolerance is decent!

8. Sedum sieboldii (crystal Crassula)

It has many leaf colors and variegated varieties, and it looks extremely ornamental. The flowers it produces also come in clusters and are very eye-catching, but why do I feel it looks even better when not flowering! Like the variegated variety below, the leaves are even more ornamental.

9. Kamchatka sedum

This name sounds very Russian in style, and the name is imported too. But covering the ground with golden blooms is also a wonderful thing; would you like to decorate your small yard like this? Or just grow one or two in pots?

It likes well-drained sandy soil, and the several sedum plants introduced by the editor are all like this. This variety grows quickly and easily spreads into a large patch, and that is the advantage.

10. James sedum

I love this sedum variety's purplish-red "Hale", with white-green leaves that seem to carry a little powder, a surprise with a touch of temptation.
