Sedum (Carpet Sedum/Needle Stonecrop)

Create a lush, colorful groundcover with Carpet Sedum, a hardy, low-growing succulent that thrives in sunny landscapes with minimal care. Known for its dense, spreading habit, Carpet Sedum forms a vibrant mat of fleshy foliage that adds texture and year-round interest to rock gardens, borders, pathways, slopes, and between stepping stones. Many varieties also produce cheerful star-shaped flowers in shades of yellow, pink, or white that attract butterflies and other pollinators.

Exceptionally drought tolerant once established, Carpet Sedum is an excellent choice for water-wise gardens and areas with poor, well-drained soil. Its ability to spread quickly helps suppress weeds while providing erosion control on slopes and other challenging planting sites. This versatile perennial is ideal for homeowners seeking a beautiful, low-maintenance landscape solution.

Whether used as a living mulch, an accent in containers, or a colorful groundcover, Carpet Sedum delivers reliable performance, vibrant foliage, and lasting beauty throughout the growing season.
