- Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' features incredible, plump little leaves that transition from fresh green in summer to a breathtaking, glowing coral-red in the winter.
- This sedum erupts into a brilliant, luminous cloud of starry, white to pale-pink flowers in the mid-summer, completely smothering the foliage beneath.
- It is exceptionally drought-tolerant and highly effective at smothering out weeds, making it the absolute must-have groundcover for a hot, baking rockery or green roof.
- A massive favourite among pollinators and completely deer-resistant, it demands the absolute bare minimum of care to deliver a dynamic, year-round show.
