This lovely mound-like species splays out from the center like a miniature fountain. It has half-inch rosy flowers in fall and blue-green leaves with matching rosy margins. Frosty temperatures bring out pink in the leaves. Sedum sieboldii grows to 4 inches tall and about twice as wide.
CareProvide moderately fertile, well-drained, neutral to slightly alkaline soil in full sun.
PropagationTake softwood cuttings or root leaves in early summer. Start seed in fall. Divide in spring.
