Description
This plant features good blue-green color and provides a strong texture due to its foliage. Appearance is similar to Sedum reflexum ‘Blue Spruce’, but has thicker leaves and more substantial presence on a green roof. Yellow flowers also bloom Midsummer. Sedum sediforme has the same sensitivity as rupestres to wet seasons, but it is not as hardy. Best used in small groups or as an accent plant. This is a custom order plant.
