In this Sedum Plant List are many species or varieties of Sedum; Tiny Scale Types... such as Sedum dasyphyllum and Sedum hispanicum which are suitable for miniature railways, small rock gardens, troughs or mixed planters. Groundcover Types.. such as the well behaved Sedum spurium 'John Creech', Sedum reflexum 'Angelina' or 'Blue Spruce'. Green Roof Types.. recommended extensively for green roofs such as many kinds of Sedum spurium and Sedum album.Taller Varieties... for use in the perennial border such as Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Joy' can be found on the Sedum for borders page.
See below for pictures and short descriptions and click on the picture to take you to more information. Still not sure which one will suit your project? Contact me! All have the same requirements for full sun exposure and fast draining soil and are hardy to zone 5a or colder on the Canadian Zone map. When you place your order, it is usually custom propagated, so please allow 4-6 weeks lead time except in the case of unrooted cuttings. Price is the same for all kinds; 72 cell plug flat $60.00. (Minimum order. 1/2 flat per variety). 2" pot $2.00 each (no minimum quantity required on 2" pots. Shipping costs are extra, depending on your area. Unrooted Cuttings, for when you need lots for propagation of your own plugs or for green roof planting - $.20 per cutting plus shipping. Also occasionally available are 4" pots, when I overproduce stock plants. To find out if I have any of these, or if you want me to custom propagate them, contact me directly.
Sedum plug production in the summer. These are 72 cell plug trays. Each cell is about one inch square and one inch deep. You can imagine that the plants are only happy in a teaspoon of soil for a short time!
Sedum acre
Sedum album (above) is one of the most popular for green roofs, but many of the different types are used in landscapes and borders too. Faro Form (below) is a diminutive type for troughs, rockeries and planters. There are several with different foliage colours, and some that change with the seasons adding texture to your garden.
Sedum album 'Twinkle' - one of the darker coloured varieties. Lovely contrast to the green types. Most if not all Sedum album have white to very pale pink flowers.
Sedum cauticola - pretty grey blue spoon shaped foliage, pink flowers. Picture coming soon!
Sedum cyaneum 'Rose Carpet'
Sedum dasyphyllum
Sedum forsterianum - loose, feathery blue foliage in spires, with a tall flower spike and yellow blooms in late summer. I usually take the flowers off due to their unfortunate habit of flopping over, but otherwise, a lovely plant.
Sedum glaucophyllum
Sedum hispanicum 'Blue Carpet'
A similar plant is Sedum hispanicum var. polypetalum which you can see here.
Sedum kamschaticum is native to Siberia, so it's tough! Lovely ground cover, and assertive enough to choke out things like Vinca minor, but never noxious. Pretty yellow blooms in summer.Click here for more information about Sedum kamschaticum 'Variegatum' small form.
Sedum pachyclados 'White Diamond'
Sedum pluricaule
Sedum reflexum 'Angelina'
Sedum reflexum 'Blue Spruce'
Sedum reflexum
Sedum rubrotinctum 'Jelly Beans' or pork and beans. Very textural brittle stems covered with round puffy leaves. Turns red in full sun and very dry soil, otherwise stays green.
Sedum 'Sandy's Silver Crest' - an unusual variety with green older growth topped with a crest of white growth. Very different.
Sedum spathulifolium 'Cape Blanco' is one of the most 'bloomed' of Sedum. The bloom, or waxy powder coats the whole plant. Flowers in a soft yellow in mid summer.
Sedum spurium album 'Superbum' - one of the workhorses of the Sedum world. Glossy green foliage covered in white blooms in mid summer - imagine this combined with 'Fruland' and 'Dragon's Blood' - wow!
Sedum spurium 'Dragon's Blood' is the first dark red form of Sedum spurium. There are now several that claim to be close, but this is still one of the best. Dark pink flowers in late summer.
Sedum spurium 'Fruland' - a yellow flowered form of spurium, with dark green glossy foliage. Another one of the best types for green roof planting, but also excellent for any xeric garden.
Sedum spurium 'Fuldaglut' or 'Fireglow' is very similar to 'Dragon's Blood', so close in fact that I defy anyone to tell them apart. I have even seen them named as the same plant in the trade. I keep them apart just in case one has better disease resistance or hardiness, but they are identical in appearance. Take your pick!
Sedum spurium green form is a basic form of the species, with bright pale green foliage and palest pink flowers. Great in combination with other forms for the texture.
Sedum spurium 'John Creech' (sometimes also called Dr. John Creech) is one of the most well behaved of the spurium tribe. Glossy mounding foliage and soft pink flowers in mid summer.
Sedum spurium 'Tricolor' is as the name suggests, three coloured. This pretty variety has pink, pale green and white variegation and pale coral blooms.
