One from our 'Toe Tickler' selection, Coral Carpet is a low-growing spreading sedum to about 3 inches in height that when happy will quickly form a dense carpet of succulent foliage. The creeping stems will root as they go. New growth emerges a salmon-orange color maturing to a bright green and then turning reddish-bronze during the winter months. During summer clusters of tiny white to pale pink flowers appear above the foliage.
Coral Carpet Sedum is very easy to grow in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. It does prefer moist soils with good drainage though will tolerate drought and poor soil. Some light shade is tolerated. We've seen no serious insect or disease problems.
Coral Carpet Sedum is useful in rock garden or as a groundcover. It can also be useful in container rock gardens. A very dependable sedum!
