📌 Product Description

Sedum rupestre is a fast-growing, mat-forming succulent groundcover valued for its soft, needle-like foliage that creates a lush, cascading effect. While many varieties develop bluish tones, this green form offers a fresh, vibrant appearance year-round.

Ideal for rockeries, hanging baskets, and water-wise gardens, this hardy sedum spreads quickly to form dense coverage. In summer, it produces clusters of small yellow star-shaped flowers that attract pollinators.

A low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant perfectly suited to South African gardens, especially in sunny positions.
