Sedum rupestre 'Silver'

'Silver' (now known as Petrosedum rupestre): Gorgeous blue green to silver foliage that nicely accents the red to purple tones of many other hardy succulents. It is low-growing and mat-forming and its leaves resemble the needles of a pine tree. Prolific, tiny yellow flowers appear in late summer on 6.0" to 8.0" stems. This stunning variety looks right at home in a rock garden without overtaking neighboring plants, or spills nicely from containers.

Sedum are easy, resilient plants that thrive outdoors with full sun and great drainage. Plant in raised beds or containers with drainage holes and mix 50% coarse sand, pumice, or perlite into the soil to prevent rot. Regular water will help young plants establish roots and spread quickly, but mature Sedum can tolerate several months of drought. If you choose to propagate by hand, cut off the top 2.0"+ of stem and transplant it to re-root.
