Phedimus, or Sedum Spurium
Creeping Green Sedum…
Sedum spurium is a matt forming low-growing herbaceous perennial that ranges in height from 7.5–15 cm, and has a spread of 40–60 cm. It has a slow to medium growth rate but it roots from its stem as it travels
The leaves of this Sedum (Phedimus) are colorful and vary between different cultivars and the season. They are thick, simple, succulent, alternate, and toothed towards their ends; they are about 2 cm in length and half as wide. They often start as green, develop a red edge, and become fully filled with red, burgundy or bronze colors in autumn and winter. This makes them a great plant to grow for late-season colour in the garden.Our Red and Jester Cultivars are uniquely special,
Plants blooms are infrequent from late spring through to mid-summer (sometime late summer). Clustered star-like flowers appear on cymes, 1.8-3cm .
Full sunlight for best results but plants are fairly shade tolerant.
Sedum spurium prefers a well drained, sandy, poor soil.
Does not tolerate excessive moisture so good drainage is essential.
Attracts butterflies, Bees and other beneficial Insects.
Similar to our other creepers – creeping red and creeping jester, but this one grows bigger, faster and flowers more profusely.
