• Our Gardenwise columnist, Susan Tito, has been growing several species of sedum — commonly known as stonecrop — for years, but it is only recently that she’s acquired a newfound appreciation for them. They may not have the showiest blooms or sweetest fragrance in the plant kingdom, but sedums are among the few perennials on her property that are truly spectacular this time of year. Read this month’s column: The Season (And the Reason) for Sedums.
