Growth Habit: Sedums are generally grouped into two categories; clumping and creeping. Clumping hybrids grow 1 to 3 feet tall. Creeping types stay low to the ground, spreading a few feet in either direction. Both types feature succulent leaves and small, colorful clusters of flowers.

Do sedums spread?

About Sedum Low–growing sedum spreads along the ground, reaching only a few inches (or less) in height. This makes them perfect for use as a ground cover along paths, in rock gardens, or cascading down a stone wall. Upright sedum tends to form tall, upright clumps that produce a tight mass of tiny reddish-pink flowers.
