3.5 Inch Sedum lydium Live Plant | Dense Carpet Stonecrop | Evergreen Succulent | Groundcover | Rock Garden | Hardy Sedum

Create a lush, low-maintenance carpet of evergreen color with Sedum lydium, also known as Dense Carpet Stonecrop. This charming succulent forms dense mats of tiny green foliage that develop attractive bronze-red tones during cooler weather. In late spring through early summer, clusters of delicate white flowers rise above the foliage, attracting butterflies and other pollinators.

Perfect for rock gardens, fairy gardens, borders, green roofs, containers, and between stepping stones, Sedum lydium is exceptionally drought tolerant once established and thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil.
