What: Sedum sieboldii is an excellent groundcover plant, particularly for hot, dry sites with poor soil. This variety forms a flat, dense mound of blue green leaves. Clusters of pink flowers appear in late summer. Sedum sieboldii is well suited for the rock garden or edging in a dry border, also a good choice for containers. Sedum sieboldii makes a good companion plant for Eryngium amethystinum ‘Sapphire Blue.’
Where: Best grown in well-drained or sandy soil. The best flowering is in full sun, but it will tolerate light shade and still look good.
Size: Six inches high by 1 foot wide in 10 years.
Care: Drought tolerant once established. Cut to the ground in fall.
