Product Details

Highlights

Tricolor Stonecrop (also known as Phedimus spurius and Sedum spurium variegatum): A variegated cultivar not seen in the wild that can show not one, not two, but three colors when grown in full sun. S. spurium is a particularly popular ground cover succulent because it is a fast grower and can tolerate extended droughts, hard frosts, and poor soils.

This cold hardy, creeping Sedum has wide, thin leaves and grows about 4.0" tall. It spreads well, even when neglected, but fast, dense growth can be encouraged with regular watering in the growing season. Tricolor is also easy to propagate by hand, simply by cutting 2.0"+ off the stems and replanting the top sections in well-draining soil.

S. spurium is a strong outdoor grower in-ground, potted, in vertical plantings, or on green roofs. Tricolor will slowly revert back to plain green, but you can prune back any green foliage to maintain variegation. It can also take regular pruning to keep it from overcrowding companion plants.

Summer brings a sea of pink, star-shaped flowers that attract pollinators. In winter, S. spurium survives by going partially dormant and losing some leaves, which re-grow in spring.
