Sedum divergens
Old-Man-Bones Stonecrop |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.485.090
The creeping selections of Stonecrop are excellent groundcover plants, particularly for hot, dry sites with poor soil. This native North American species forms a low carpet of fleshy, rounded green leaves, spreading to form a thick patch. Clusters of bright yellow star flowers appear in summer. A fast grower, this is best kept away from slower alpine plants that it might smother. Good choice for tubs and mixed containers. Easy to propagate; simply break pieces off in early summer and stick them in the ground. Fast spreading. Evergreen.
