Sedum album 'Coral Carpet'     Coral Sedum Zone 3-9    
Coral Carpet (as in Coral Reef) is a low, spreading cultivar that quickly forms dense mats of fleshy, bright-green leaves, often tinged salmon pink. Clusters of starry white to pale pink flowers like Baby's Breath. This plants roots where it touches, so a little soon goes a long way. An excellent ground cover for a sunny, dry spot.

Sedum bithynicum     Turkish Sedum     Zone:      e 

One of our tiniest sedums. But don't let that fool you. This little guy can grow like a little weed!  But it's so tiny, it won't run over it's neighbors unless they're also VERY tiny.  Beautiful under conifers if they're limbed up 3 feet or so, so some sunlight can get in, where most things won't grow.  With some sun, this little guy will grow anywhere but a wet spot..

Emei' grows in compact mounds of round, shiny green 1/3" leaves & tolerates a wide range of soils & light conditions -- sun to 3/4 shade & dry to average moisture. Red foliage in winter.

Sedum hispanicum minus     Little Blue Spanish Stonecrop, Tiny Buttons    Zone: 5-9     

 A wonderful little sedum with blue-green succulent leaves and a soft feathery feel to it.  This European native is a great rockery plant and not a thug which some creeping sedums are.  More mound forming actually although it can spread if happy.  The species has white to pale pink blooms whereas this form is distinctly pink.  Great in troughs although not quite as hardy as some Sedums.

Sedum lineare 'Golden Teardrop'    Sedum, Golden Teardrop      Zone: 4-9   

Spreading, mat-forming plant with golden leaves. Outstanding groundcover. This is a really gorgeous sedum.  Aggressive spreader, even with neglect. Ours grows in fairly deep shade, which seems to control it even though it's not supposed to take shade! So much for books versus experience.

Sedum makinoi 'Ogon'    Golden Makino or Japanese Stonecrop   Zone:  6-9   

Far and away the most yellow of all the sedums.  Looks like little golden/chartreuse pebbles. Ogon means gold in Japanese.  Yellow blooms with orange tips to the stamens which are attractive and fluffy looking.  Not as hardy as some Sedums but for those who can grow it, it's a charmer.  Takes heat well and looks good all summer.  Unlike some sedums, it also seems to prefer a little shade in warmer climates.

Sedum platycladus     (Sedum pachyclados)        Zone: 5-9  

Sedum platyclaudus literally hugs the ground (or anything else it encounters). The minute green leaves look like decals pasted on the soil. It forms a very dense, attractive cover.   Forms rosettes of fleshy gray-blue foliage and pale yellow flowers in summer.  Actually likes regular water unlike some.  Slow grower.

Sedum 'Purple Emperor'   (Hylotelephium 'Purple Emperor')        Zone: 3-7

Touted as the replacement for burgundy Sedum 'Mohrchen' because it retains it's upright posture throughout the season.  The fleshy, dark purple leaves and stems lay the foundation for masses of tiny, star-lie, dusky pinkish-purple bloom in large, flattened flower heads, 3-6" across.  Like all of the 'tall' Sedums, wonderful even in winter.  Introduced by Washfield Nursery in England, it has the darkest black burgundy of any sedum and will surely take the Sedum world by storm.

Attractive spreading plant with small leaves which resemble a miniature forest of conifers. Yellow flowers. Easy to grow in well-drained soil. This is definitely one of the cutest sedums we have. Hardy enough to live in containers outside. 

Soil: Well-drained     H: 2-3" W: Indef.      B/M: Yellow/6-7 

Sedum sieboldiis -- Clump forming sedums

Some of the best Sedums in the trade.  Clump forming with absolutely Amazing Fall colors as you can see at the left!  In Fall, due to the heavy stems, the plants may need to be cut back some for shipment.  Tough plants, but in the ground, they rest on the soil or mulch which supports their unusually large, heavy blooms.  If we try to ship when in bloom, and if the box gets banged or turned upside down, these heavily laden stems can snap (and always right at soil level).  So for the safety of your plants, we may have to cut them back some so we can secure them for travel.  Early in the season, this isn't a problem.

Sedum sieboldii 'Nana'    Dwarf October Daphne    Zone: 3-8   

A dwarf form of the species and quite possibly our favorite sedum.  When it blooms there's really nothing like it.  Blue foliage but with an undertone of mauve and deep, rosy pink blooms.  Not a spreader.

Soil: Well-drained     H: 6-9" W: 8-10"     B/M: Rosy pink/9-10 

The tall, upright Sedums that can turn a ho-hum Fall garden into a work of art!  They appreciate a bit more moisture than other sedums.

For awhile, some Sedums were classified as Hylotelephiums but now they're back listed as Sedums.  :-)  This is one reason we usually drag our feet a little when making names changes -- to be sure that the new name is going to stay around!

Sedum spectabile 'Old Maryland'     Sedum Old Maryland    Zone: 3-9     

Old Maryland came to us via a customer. It had been on her Maryland family farm for many, many years and is distinctly different from the current upright sedums in the trade because of it Gorgeous Soft Pink rather than hot pink or rusty pink blooms. A surprising Fall color - soft clear medium pink!  We think it's a winner.

Sedum x cauticola Bertram Anderson   Zone: 3-9   

Often listed as a cultivar of Sedum cauticola, it's actually a hybrid with S. cauticola as one parent.  Very cold hardy with rounded,  blue violet foliage on cascading purplish stems, and deep rose flowers in the autumn.
Compact and sprawling (in the nicest sense), the foliage is a cool dusty lilac with an overall effect of smoky blue with rose-pink blooms in September and October.

Sedum x telephium 'Carl'  (Hylotelephium)      Zone: 3-9   

Touted as another improved version of Sedum 'Autumn Joy'.  Gees - this drives us nuts!  We're sure there can be no improvement on that plant - it's near perfection!  HOWEVER, there can be plants that are equally wonderful BUT differen than 'Autumn Joy'.  Such is 'Carl'.  With a similar sturdy disposition and other wonderful qualitites of Sedum 'A.J.',  'Carl' has outstanding, eye-catching bright pink-red blooms.  It's a matter of color - which works better in your Fall garden scheme!

Soil: Well-drained      H:18-24"  W:24"       B/M: Bright Pink Red/9-10

Sempervivum - Hens 'n Chicks   Zone: 3-9(10)     (some afternoon shade in warmer areas)

Have very little need for soil or water. Most flower infrequently. Flowering rosette dies after setting seed but leaves lots of babies. True alpine plants. In Sempervivum the flowers are star-shaped with 8 to 16 petals. The most common colors are shades of pink or red although some have cream or yellow flowers. Grown in 3.5" pots 'cause all you really need is a 'Start' with these little multipliers!  There are about 60 species of Sempervivums and there are over 3600 registered cultivars!  I would say of all the Genuses of plants we've grown/studied/looked at, the reported zones on this Genus is the most confused.  If you query 30 sites, you'll find 30 different reports. Zone: 3-8, 4-7, 7-10.  :-)  After much study and deliberation, we honestly believe they're hardy almost everywhere!  AS LONG AS DRAINAGE IS IMPECCABLE there are many reports of them growing fine in Alaska.  I'd be interested to hear from Zone 10 gardeners.  I read mixed reports from Zone 10 gardeners, but again, think it's probably a "too much water issue".

Soil:  Very well-drained  Height varies but all are only inches tall.
