Cliff Stonecrop
Sedum cauticola
1 gallon pot
 
A compact and attractive groundcover, cliff stonecrop is valued for its rounded, blue-gray succulent leaves that often develop soft purple or rosy tones, especially in cooler weather. The foliage forms a tidy, low mound that provides year-round interest. In late summer to early fall, clusters of star-shaped pink flowers appear above the foliage, adding a bright and cheerful display that attracts pollinators.
 
This variety thrives in well-drained soil and sunny locations, where it maintains its best color and compact form. It is drought tolerant once established and performs well in rock gardens, containers, and along edges where drainage is excellent. Easy to grow and low maintenance, it is a reliable choice for adding color and texture to sunny spaces.
