Product Details
Highlights
Sedum spurium (now Phedimus spurius) 'Red Carpet': A lovely, vigorous ground cover of green foliage that blushes deep rose in the summer. It produces masses of tiny pink blooms each summer and looks attractive when planted in large drifts. This forgiving, colorful spreader can transform large areas of poor soil into lush swathes of color. It can even survive hard frosts by losing leaves and going dormant in the winter, filling back in by 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.
