  Brooklyn Botanic Garden: Spectacular Sedums—Fall-Flowering Plants for Texture and Color
Sedum alboroseum 'Frosty Morn' is as cooling as a mint julep; its pale green leaves are streaked with ivory.
Trailing sedums are useful at the front of a border, along the edge of a path or driveway, tucked into a rockery or into wall crevices, or even at the lip of pots or windowboxes.
Sedums can be grown from seed (start indoors in the fall or direct sow outside in early spring), but the easiest way to propagate them is by division.

 Sedums & succulents :  drought tolerant plants are ideal in planters   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In addition, natives of drier regions such as sedums (or stonecrops) and succulents are becoming more popular for gardens and are particularly suitable for container gardens.
The genus Sedum is composed of around 400 species native mainly to rocky, mountainous regions of the Northern Hemisphere, which is why they are also commonly called "stonecrops." Sedum belongs to the plant family Crassulaceae, which includes such other succulent genera as Kalanchoe and Sempervivum.
Most gardenworthy sedums are easygoing, adaptable, and hardy from USDA Zones 4 to 9, though some species are tender and demand temperatures above freezing point in the winter.

Miniature Sedums are tiny relatives of that succulent plant my grandmother called "live-forever," and which we now call by fancier names like "Autumn Joy."

Sedums don't require much soil to take root and hold, and they're drought-resistant (especially if their roots can get in someplace cool and damp, like a crack in a wall).
Miniature sedums are very easy to spread, they fill in nicely around obstacles and taller plants, and they survive very dry and very wet weather.
