Sedum Hispanicum

Spanish Stonecrop

Spanish Stonecrop forms a low mat of tiny, fleshy blue-gray leaves. Cold weather can add a purple flush to the foliage.

Small white flowers, marked with pale pink, appear in summer. Its spreading evergreen cover suits rock gardens and the edges of containers.

Provide sun and freely draining soil. Avoid waterlogged sites.
