Sedum borchii 'Sport' | Evergreen Stonecrop | Hardy Succulent Groundcover | Fairy Garden Plant | Drought Tolerant Live Plant | 3.5" Pot

Add year-round texture and vibrant color to your landscape with Sedum borchii 'Sport', a hardy evergreen stonecrop prized for its lime-green succulent foliage, dense spreading habit, and exceptional drought tolerance. This low-growing perennial creates a beautiful living carpet that thrives in rock gardens, fairy gardens, containers, pathways, and xeriscape landscapes.

Throughout the growing season, its bright lime-green foliage forms a dense mat only a few inches tall. As temperatures cool, the foliage develops attractive plum and burgundy tones, extending seasonal interest well into fall and winter. In mid to late summer, airy clusters of delicate white flowers bloom above the foliage, attracting butterflies, bees, and other beneficial pollinators.

Easy to grow and remarkably low-maintenance, Sedum borchii 'Sport' thrives in poor soils, full sun, and dry conditions once established, making it an excellent choice for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.
