Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' - Chinese Stonecrop is a low-growing succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to eastern China where it thrives in rocky outcrops and well-drained slopes. This easy care succulent has earned a devoted following among groundcover lovers and container gardeners alike for its toughness and charm.
Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' - Chinese Stonecrop forms a beautiful mat of small, rounded, scallop-edged leaves that shift from bright green to rich coral, bronze, and red tones as sunlight and cooler temperatures intensify the color. This color changing foliage is truly the showstopper, spreading in a low, trailing, clumping habit that hugs the ground and spills gracefully over the edges of containers or raised beds. Its mat forming groundcover growth style makes it one of the most distinctive low growing succulents you can add to a collection.
Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' - Chinese Stonecrop produces small, star-shaped yellow flowers in summer, typically appearing in clusters just above the foliage. The blooms are a lovely bonus to the already striking foliage display, attracting pollinators and adding a cheerful seasonal accent to the garden.
Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' - Chinese Stonecrop is wonderfully versatile, equally at home spilling from a hanging basket, carpeting a sunny border, or brightening a balcony container where it handles wind and rain with ease. It can move outside for summer and stays strong well into autumn, tolerating dry heated indoor air when brought back inside. This drought tolerant succulent is also confirmed pet friendly, making it a worry-free choice for households with curious cats or dogs.
