Etymology
Sedum comes from the old Latin name for this group of small, thick-leaved plants and was kept as the scientific name. A helpful way to remember sedum is the common name 'stonecrop': these plants 'crop up' on rocks and hold water in their leaves, which is why sedum are good ground cover in dry places.
