Misc Facts | "Genus name comes from the Latin word sedeo meaning to sit in reference to the general growing habit of many of the sedums (they sit and sprawl over rocks). Plants in the genus Hylotelephium are commonly called stonecrops because they are typically found in the wild growing on rocky or stony area". (#144) |
