Sedum Rupestre 'Blue Spruce' is a moderate growing groundcover plant, perennial plant and succulent plant that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 4A through 9B. It matures to an average height of 1 inch to 1 foot and an average width of 1 foot to 2 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun or morning shade with afternoon sun and grows best when planted in sand, loam, clay or silt soil that is well drained. In the summer Blue Spruce Sedum produces bright yellow flowers. The foliage is blue in color. It attracts visual attention and is resistant to deer, drought, insects, diseases, mildew and heat.
Blue Spruce Sedum can be useful in the landscape in mass plantings, in containers or planters, as a border or edger, as a groundcover, in hanging baskets or in landscape beds or islands and also in rock or xeriscape gardens, theme gardens or perennial gardens.
One of our 'Toe Tickler' selections, 'Blue Spruce' is a low growing trailing variety of evergreen sedum with spectacular bluish foliage and spruce-like leaves resembling the Colorado Blue Spruce. Small plate-like heads of butterfly-attracting bright yellow flowers emerge in summer at the ends of stems.
Because it is a succulent, Blue Spruce Sedum is exceptionally drought tolerant and easy to grow. Provide very well-drained soil adding gravel if necessary to improve drainage. It prefers full sun but will tolerate some shade.
Blue Spruce Sedum is useful as a groundcover or border in garden beds and rock gardens and will trail over walls and the edges of pots in container gardens.
Blue Spruce Sedum is robust, low maintenance and easy to establish. The dense foliage looks attractive year round in the border planting.
