Sedum 'Tricolor'

Sedum ‘Tricolor’ is a sprawling, low-growing, ground-hugging, mat-forming stonecrop (also commonly called two-row stonecrop because leaves are in two columns along the stems) that is frequently grown as a ground cover. Tricolor leaves (each to 1" long) feature green in the center with white margins tinged with pink. Leaves are opposite, thick, succulent, toothed near the tips, obovate, flattened and narrower than those of the species. Leaf color remains attractive throughout the growing season.

This is an evergreen plant that typically rises only 3-6” tall but spreads to 12-18” wide. Creeping, branching stems root at the nodes. Tiny, star-shaped, pink flowers (to 3/4” diameter) bloom in four-branched inflorescences (cymes to 4-6” tall) in late spring to mid-summer.
