Sedum ellacombianum

Ellacombianum Stonecrop

Ellacombianum Stonecrop forms a low mound of glossy, spoon-shaped leaves with scalloped edges. The foliage can take on a red flush during autumn and winter.

Pink buds open into clusters of small yellow stars in late summer. Its spreading root system and partially evergreen leaves make it useful for filling small spaces among rocks or along a sunny border edge.

Grow in full sun with well-drained soil. Avoid a site where water collects around the roots.
