Sedum for green roofs on display at the Greenroof Environmental Literacy Laboratory design unveiling event for PS 41 in Greenwich Village in New York on Tuesday, March 2, 2010. Sedum is an Alpine plant able to withstand extreme weather, drought, poor soil with little no organic matter, full sun, snow cover, etc. A green roof offers environmental benefits including insulation to reduce heating and cooling costs, reduction of storm water runoff and filtering the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and giving off oxygen.
