Sedum Makinoi

Sedum Makinoi

Sedum makinoi is a low-growing, evergreen succulent plant native to Japan. It is part of the Sedum genus and is characterized by its dense, mat-forming growth habit, making it an excellent ground cover. The plant has small, round, fleshy leaves that are typically a light green to yellowish color, sometimes with a slight reddish tinge at the edges when exposed to bright sunlight.

This sedum variety is often used in rock gardens, hanging baskets, or as ground cover due to its compact size and attractive foliage. It has a spreading nature, and its succulent leaves help it retain water, making it relatively drought-tolerant once established. In the summer, Sedum makinoi produces small, star-shaped yellow flowers, though the plant is mainly grown for its foliage.

It’s a hardy plant that thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. This sedum is low maintenance, requiring minimal care and occasional pruning to keep it in shape. It’s perfect for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance, drought-resistant option that adds texture and color to their outdoor spaces.
