I want to plant something on a grave, something low maintence, that will last through out the winter(keep in mind I live in Ohio)and come back in the spring. I don't get to the cemetery very often and I need a no fuss plant, something beautiful yet hardy. The grave has huge sturdy stone urn so the plant won't be directly in the ground. any thoughts on this?

Hi Chelsea - welcome to the forum! I think sedum, or 'live forevers' are good for the cemetary. They're simple, hardy, pretty and need little attention. They come in different colors. Here are some pictures

Very pretty. I am sure it is a stupid question But Do these sedums come in seeds or what? I have a couple of house plants but I have no idea about anything outdoor.

No such thing as a stupid question! You can start these from seed, or you can usually find them pretty reasonably at the garden centers in spring. Here's a great article about sedum - I have some white sedum that I'd be happy to divide and send some of in the spring if you'd like - just PM me your adress and I'll send some off to you if you decide you'd like them.
