Sedum spurium 'Bronze Carpet'

Highlights

'Bronze Carpet' (Sedum spurium now known as Phedimus spurius): A low-growing but bushy ground cover that spreads readily. The foliage can take on a bronze sheen, then turns slightly more green in summer. In late summer it produces lots of tiny, pink flowers and attracts pollinators. Through winter, it survives by going partially dormant and losing most of its leaves, but it sprouts back fully each spring.

Hardy Sedum are easy, frost-hardy plants that thrive outdoors with full sun and great drainage. Plant in raised beds or containers with drainage holes and mix 50% coarse sand, pumice, or perlite into the soil to prevent rot. Regular water will help young plants establish roots and spread quickly, but mature Sedum can tolerate several months of drought. If you choose to propagate by hand, cut off the top 2.0"+ of stem and transplant it to re-root.
