Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' - Chinese Stonecrop

Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' (Fröderström): A little larger and slightly less hardy than many stonecrops. It has round leaves 0.75" long that turn coppery pink as they age. New growth is bright green with a slight pink edging. This a fast-growing ground cover that forms dense mats 3.0" - 4.0" tall. It is native to alpine regions of China.

Hardy Sedum are easy, frost-hardy 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.
