Sedum cauticola ‘Lidakense’

The alpine selections of Stonecrop are excellent edging or rock garden plants, particularly for hot, dry sites with poor soil. This variety forms a low, non-spreading clump of rounded, blue-green leaves, flushed with purple. Glistening pink star flowers appear in late summer, clustered at the ends of each stem. Also well-suited to growing in tubs or alpine trough gardens. Deciduous in winter, the stems should be trimmed back in early spring. A good candidate for any collection of fine alpine plants.
