📌 Product Description

Sedum reflexum (Fine Form) is a low-growing, evergreen succulent with slender, needle-like leaves arranged densely along upright and spreading stems. The foliage ranges from bright green to blue-green and may take on golden or bronze tones in strong sun or cooler weather.

This variety forms a soft, textured carpet and is valued for its fine foliage contrast in rock gardens and succulent plantings. In summer, it produces small yellow star-shaped flowers held above the foliage.

Hardy, drought tolerant, and extremely adaptable, it is a reliable choice for South African water-wise gardens.
