Why We Love It:
Purple Form Creeping Sedum creates a beautiful evergreen carpet of tiny succulent foliage that shifts through shades of blue, purple, and bronze depending on sun exposure and season. Its colorful foliage adds year-round interest, while the soft pink blooms provide a subtle layer of late-season color. Tough, drought tolerant, and easy to grow, it’s perfect for weaving through gravel, stone, and dry garden plantings where texture and color matter.

Additional Info:
Also known as Little Blue Spanish Stonecrop, this hardy sedum thrives in lean, sharply drained soils and dry conditions. Excellent planted between stepping stones, in crevice gardens, or tucked among other xeric perennials and cold-hardy cacti. Slowly spreads by rooting stems to form long-lasting evergreen groundcover with minimal maintenance.
