Sedum acre ‘Oktoberfest’
Mossy Stonecrop |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.486.110
The creeping selections of Stonecrop are excellent groundcover plants, particularly for hot, dry sites with poor soil. This fast-spreading evergreen variety forms a low carpet of tiny succulent green leaves, smothered by star-shaped creamy-white flowers in summer. A fast grower, this is best kept away from slower alpine plants that it might smother. Excellent as a lawn substitute. Also a good choice for tubs and mixed containers. Easy to propagate; simply break pieces off and stick them in the ground. Tolerates moderate foot traffic once established. Introduced by Jelitto Seeds of Germany in 2005.
