Sedum spurium ‘Tricolor’


Tricolor Stonecrop

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.485.130


The creeping selections of Stonecrop are excellent groundcover plants, particularly for hot, dry sites with poor soil. This variety forms a low carpet of small green leaves, dappled with pink and creamy-white. Clusters of soft-pink star flowers appear in summer. A fairly slow grower, this is inclined to revert, and any all-green shoots should be removed as they appear. Also a good choice for tubs and mixed containers. Easy to propagate; simply break pieces off in early summer and stick them in the ground. Deciduous; trim stems and dead flower heads back in early spring.
