📌 Product Description

Sedum ‘Coral Reef’ is a compact, mat-forming succulent with tightly packed miniature rosettes that shift from fresh green to coral-bronze in full sun or cooler weather. The leaves are small, rounded and slightly pointed, forming dense cushion-like mounds rather than long trailing runners.

This low-growing stonecrop is prized for its rich seasonal colouring and neat, structured growth habit. It creates a uniform carpet effect and is ideal for filling gaps in rock gardens, edging pathways, or softening retaining walls.

A hardy and reliable groundcover suited to water-wise South African gardens.
