Highlights of this sedum kamschaticum, ellacombianum (selskianum), also known as stonecrop:
– Includes over 120 seeds
– Reaches up to 8 inches in height
– Features glossy jade green foliage that is deciduous
– Bright yellow flowers cluster on upright stems
– Perennial that thrives in full sun or partial shade
– Attracts butterflies, and is resistant to rabbits and deer
– No pruning or maintenance required
– Suitable for zones 4 through 9
– Evergreen in most climates
– Highly drought tolerant
Flowering occurs profusely in midsummer, and as the weather cools, the plant’s hue turns from pinkish to a rusty red. It retains foliage during the colder months unless winters are exceptionally harsh. The dried flower stalks and stems linger through the winter, with new growth emerging very early in spring underneath the previous year’s growth. Even in harsh winters, green rosettes remain under the preceding year’s growth.
This sedum species is ideal for use in covering hillsides, erosion control, rock gardens, and areas with rocky, poor soil. It’s acknowledged as excellent for roofscapes and wall planting due to its low maintenance requirements and exceptional drought tolerance. This plant excels in hot, dry regions with minimal soil. It forms a dense, bright, long-lasting ground cover and is incredibly easy to grow, requiring just good drainage.
