Creeping stonecrop 'Coccineum'

Sedum spurium 'Coccineum' forms dense carpets of succulent fresh green foliage and delights with masses of carmine-red star-shaped flowers throughout summer. Its low-growing habit makes it an excellent choice for rock gardens, dry stone walls, and sunny slopes. This hardy groundcover remains attractive all year and provides abundant nectar for bees and many other pollinating insects.

Location

Choose a sunny or lightly shaded location with excellent drainage. It performs beautifully in rock gardens, gravel beds, slopes, and as a colorful groundcover.

Tip

Use it to soften the edges of pathways or walls where its spreading habit can create a natural carpet of foliage and flowers.

Sedum spurium 'Coccineum' brings bright red blooms and summer energy to flower beds, borders, and rock gardens. Especially decorative as ground cover or paired with green foliage for striking effects.
