    Sedum plants offer a wide range of benefits as groundcovers, making them a popular choice for landscaping and gardening:

    Low Maintenance and Drought Tolerant - Sedums are known for their resilience and ability to thrive in tough conditions. Once established, they require minimal watering, making them ideal for water-wise gardens and dry climates.

    Weed Suppression and Erosion Control - The dense growth habit of sedum helps to crowd out weeds, reducing the need for weeding and herbicide use. Their extensive root systems also help to bind soil and prevent erosion on slopes and hillsides.

    Wide Variety and Aesthetic Appeal - Sedums come in a vast array of colors, textures, and growth habits. From creeping ground-huggers to upright varieties, there is a sedum to suit any garden style and design preference. Their attractive foliage and seasonal blooms add year-round interest to the landscape.

    Pollinator Friendly and Wildlife Habitat - Many - sedums produce nectar-rich flowers that attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. They also provide valuable habitat and food sources for other beneficial insects and wildlife.

    Adaptable to Various Conditions - Sedums are tolerant of poor soils, including rocky and sandy areas where other plants might struggle. They can also thrive in full sun to partial shade, offering versatility for different garden locations.

    Cold Hardy and Evergreen Options - Many sedum varieties are cold hardy, surviving harsh winters and providing year-round ground cover even in colder climates. Evergreen types retain their foliage throughout the year, while deciduous varieties offer seasonal interest with their fall color and winter dormancy.

    Improves Soil Health - As sedums grow, they help to improve soil health by adding organic matter as their leaves and stems decompose. Their root systems also aerate the soil and improve its drainage, creating a healthier environment for other plants.

    Overall, sedum groundcovers offer a multitude of benefits for both the gardener and the environment. They are a beautiful, sustainable, and low-maintenance option for any landscape.

    Here are some popular groundcover sedum varieties:

    • Sedum acre (Goldmoss Stonecrop): A bright green, moss-like variety with yellow flowers in summer.
    • Sedum spurium (Dragon's Blood Stonecrop): This variety features reddish-purple foliage and pink flowers in late summer.
    • Sedum kamtschaticum: Forms a mat of green foliage with yellow flowers in summer.
    • Sedum album (White Stonecrop): Has small, white flowers in summer and foliage that turns reddish in winter.

    Groundcover sedum plants FAQ

    Common Names: Biting Stonecrop, Goldmoss Stonecrop, Mossy Stonecrop

    Sedum acre, commonly known as Mossy Stonecrop, is a petite, resilient succulent native to Europe. It is a member of the Crassulaceae family, renowned for their water-storing capabilities. In the wild, it flourishes in sunny spots on limestone hills, rocky terrain, and walls, particularly near the coast, displaying its high salt tolerance.

    The plant forms a dense mat of tiny, fleshy, green leaves that overlap, creating a scale-like appearance. Throughout most of the summer, delicate, star-shaped yellow flowers emerge, adding a touch of brightness.

    Mossy Stonecrop thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. It rarely requires watering and tolerates dry conditions, making it perfect for xeriscaping or low-maintenance gardens. If growing in a container, ensure it has coarse, well-drained soil, ideally a cactus mix. While the leaves can be easily dislodged, they readily root, offering a simple propagation method.

    This hardy ground cover tolerates maritime exposure, rocky and poor soils, and establishes quickly. Its succulent leaves ensure drought tolerance and maintain visual appeal even during winter. It is also resistant to deer and rabbit browsing.

    Mossy Stonecrop's low-growing, spreading habit makes it ideal for ground cover in sunny locations. However, it can be vigorous and may overtake other plants of similar height. You can also grow it as a houseplant with bright, direct light. Although it can withstand some light foot traffic, it is best suited for areas with minimal disturbance. Consider mass planting it in hot, dry areas or incorporating it into rock gardens.

    Mossy Stonecrop is generally trouble-free, with no serious diseases or insect issues except for occasional slugs and snails. Avoid wet or poorly drained conditions, which can lead to root rot. Keep in mind that it can become weedy and aggressive in some situations.

    Common Names: Gold Moss, Gold Moss Sedum, Graveyard Moss, Star Sedum, Trailing Stonecrop

    Sedum sarmentosum, commonly known as Stringy Stonecrop, is a vigorous, mat-forming perennial groundcover. Its bright yellow-green leaves and trailing branches create a vibrant carpet, spreading up to 10 inches wide. The branches readily root at the nodes, making propagation by stem cuttings incredibly easy.

    Common Name: Chinese Stonecrop

    Sedum tetractinum, also known as Chinese Stonecrop, is a petite, ground-hugging perennial native to China. Maturing to a height of 3 inches with a foot-wide spread, it is a versatile ground cover and lawn alternative for compact areas. This attractive succulent displays clusters of four-petaled white or pale pink flowers, complemented by round, flat, green leaves.

    • Easy Propagation: While the leaves detach easily, they readily root, offering a simple propagation method.

    • Attractive Foliage: Sedums have fleshy, succulent leaves that come in various shades of green, red, purple, and even silver. Some varieties also have interesting variegation.
    • Seasonal Interest: Many sedums produce clusters of star-shaped flowers in late summer or fall, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. The foliage of some varieties also changes color in autumn, adding further visual appeal.
    • Weed Suppression: The dense growth habit of sedums helps to suppress weeds, reducing the need for weeding and herbicide use.
    • Erosion Control: Sedums can help to stabilize slopes and prevent erosion with their extensive root systems.

    Overall, sedum is a versatile and low-maintenance ground cover option that can add beauty and interest to any landscape.

    Most sedum groundcovers prefer full sun to thrive and display their best colors and flowering. However, there are a few varieties that can tolerate partial shade, although they might not flower as profusely or develop the same vibrant foliage color.

    If you have a shadier area where you would like to plant sedum, look for specific shade-tolerant varieties like:

    • Sedum makinoi 'Ogon' - This one has bright yellow-gold leaves and can handle both sun and shade.  
    • Sedum ternatum - Also known as woodland stonecrop, this one prefers light shade and moist soil.

    In general, it is safe to say that sedums love the sun and will do their best in full sun conditions.

    If you are unsure about the specific variety you are considering, it is always best to check its individual light requirements.

    Yes, you can walk on some sedum ground covers, but it is important to choose the right variety and be mindful of how often you are walking on it.

    Here are some things to consider:

    • Sedum Variety: Low-growing, creeping varieties with dense foliage are the most suitable for foot traffic. Some popular options include:
      • 'Dragon's Blood'
      • 'Tricolor'
      • 'Blue Spruce'
      • 'Kamtschaticum'
      • 'Fuldaglut'
    • Foot Traffic Frequency: While these sedums can tolerate occasional foot traffic, they are not meant for heavy, constant use like a lawn. If you plan to walk on it regularly, consider incorporating steppingstones or a pathway to reduce the impact.
    • Plant Health: Walking on sedums, especially when they are wet, can damage the foliage and stems. Be gentle and avoid walking on them during their active growth or flowering periods.

    Overall, sedum ground covers can add beauty and practicality to your landscape, even with some light foot traffic. Just be sure to choose the right variety and be mindful of its limitations.

    Sedum groundcovers are generally known for their cold hardiness, but whether they are evergreen depends on the specific variety.

    Cold Hardiness:

    • Most sedum groundcovers are quite cold hardy, thriving in USDA hardiness zones 3-9. This means they can tolerate winter temperatures as low as -40°F.
    • Some varieties are even hardier, surviving in zones as low as 2.
    • This makes them suitable for a wide range of climates, including areas with harsh winters.

    Evergreen vs. Deciduous:

    Some sedum groundcovers are evergreen, retaining their foliage throughout the winter. They may change color or become slightly dormant, but they will not completely die back.

    Popular evergreen varieties include:

    • Sedum spurium 'Dragon's Blood'  
    • Sedum rupestre 'Angelina'  
    • Sedum album 'Coral Carpet'  

    Other sedum groundcovers are deciduous, meaning they lose their leaves in the fall and winter. They will regrow new foliage in the spring.

    Popular deciduous varieties include:

    • Sedum 'Autumn Joy'
    • Sedum spectabile 'Brilliant'
    • Sedum kamtschaticum

    Choosing the Right Sedum:

    • If you are looking for a sedum groundcover that stays green all year round, be sure to choose an evergreen variety.
    • If you do not mind the plant dying back in the winter, a deciduous sedum can still provide beautiful ground cover during the growing season.
    • Always check the specific hardiness zone and evergreen/deciduous status of the variety you are considering to ensure it is suitable for your climate.

    Overall, sedum groundcovers are a great option for cold climates, and many varieties offer the added benefit of being evergreen.
