Sedum album 'Coral Carpet': White Stonecrop

Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' is a superb, low-growing, mat-forming succulent selected for its exceptional foliage color. The tiny, bead-like, cylindrical leaves are bright green in summer but transform into brilliant shades of coral, orange, and red in response to cold temperatures and sun exposure in autumn and winter, providing vibrant color when little else is happening. In early summer, it produces short sprays of small, starry white flowers.

This tough sedum thrives in full sun and poor, gritty, extremely well-drained soil. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant and hardy. Ideal for green roofs, rock gardens, crevices, containers, and as a groundcover in hot, dry sites. It requires virtually no maintenance. The winter color is its standout feature, glowing like coral reef in the dormant garden.
