Sedums wont survive the heat of Pakistan if grown as a border plant.

If you really want to use them as hedging plants try 'sedum nussbaumerianum' they can tolerate much heat

I would personally recommend that you plant 'Euphorbia milii' Thai hybrids for borders, no fuss plant once established and will flower all year if your area is frost free.

Though Sedum germinates easily from seeds but is susceptible to humidity prevalent in monsoon season and suffers from summer heat. The more heat tolerant Sedum varieties can be given a try.

Why don't you consider growing our local Kalanchoe available in shades of orange & red and also more heat tolerant.

Ms Rabia, very few sedums are heat tolerant, they need semi-shaded spot to thrive. You can try 'sedum nussbaumerianum' it is one of the most heat tolerant variety i have grown yet. All my sedums died one by one but this one is still going good.

Seeds are not available in Pakistan, however, can be bought from foreign seed vendors.

Sedums available in Pakistan the ones i can identify with name are:

sedum rubrotinctum

sedum nussbaumerianum

sedum hispanicum var. minus
