Sedum Mixed Flat (Stonecrop)
Details
Mixed Sedum Flats (Stonecrop) flats consisting of mixed cultivars growing in thin, undivided flats to be used on rooftop gardens, ground covers on hot, dry areas instead of turf, along patios or perhaps to tear into pieces to be used in rock walls or along pathways. The cultivars are planted in random patterns and can be installed in any direction. Sun loving plants are grown in shallow flats that will need to be irrigated until established, than only as needed after they have rooted in. Overall, the selections include low growing varieties with different leaf and flower coloration. The flats can include 'Lemon Drop (shiny, green leaved w/ yellow flowers), Cauticola (blue leaved w/ purple undersides and raspberry colored flowers later in the season), 'VooDoo' (red leaved, red flowers), and sometimes we include 'Angelina' (yellow, brush like foliage arranged around the stem that turns chartreuse in summer and orange and yellow in fall). An outstanding, low growing ground cover where it is hot and dry (xeriscape). Zone 4. *Shipped in spring only*
