Sedum spurium 'Tricolor'

Sedum spurium 'Tricolor' is an eye-catching, low-growing perennial succulent known for its vibrant, variegated foliage that combines green, creamy white, and pink tones. This colorful sedum forms a dense mat of small, rounded leaves and is perfect for bringing texture and contrast to rock gardens, borders, containers, or groundcover plantings. It thrives in full sun and poor soils, making it a great choice for tough garden spots.

In summer, clusters of small pink star-shaped flowers appear, adding even more charm and attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. As cooler temperatures arrive, the pink margins of the foliage intensify, enhancing its seasonal appeal.
