Sedum Stonecrop

Sedum Stonecrop

Sedum Stonecrop, also known as “Stonecrop,” is a popular and hardy succulent that belongs to the Sedum genus. It’s often recognized for its low-maintenance care, ability to thrive in a variety of conditions, and its attractive foliage and flowers. The plant has fleshy, water-storing leaves that are typically green, but can change to red, purple, or gold, especially when stressed by heat or drought.

Stonecrop is an excellent choice for gardens, rock gardens, or container planting, where it can add color and texture. It is particularly well-suited to dry, well-drained soil and can tolerate poor soil conditions. It also thrives in full sun to partial shade and is very drought-tolerant once established.

In the summer, Sedum Stonecrop may produce small, star-shaped flowers, usually in shades of yellow, pink, or white, which attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. It’s an easy plant to propagate through cuttings or division, making it great for spreading across your garden or gifting to friends.

This plant’s hardiness and ease of care make it an ideal choice for beginners and anyone looking for an attractive, resilient addition to their succulent collection.
