Sedum dasyphyllum 'Corsican Stonecrop'

Exceptionally unique, very tiny yet thickly rounded leaves form the dense mat of muted color for which Corsican stonecrop is known. Shades of dusty green, hazy blue, and soft mauve contribute to the gently undulating mass of color that makes this specimen an exceptional groundcover – be it in container arrangements, within the temperate landscape, or even within the incredibly popular fairy garden! Reaching only 3-5 inches tall at maturity, and hardy all the way down to Zone 7, there is very little that Corsican stonecrop can’t do. Bright light will coax the richest coloration from Corsican stonecrop, while also encouraging it to form a thick layer of soil-obscuring color and texture that will eventually begin to drape over the edge of its container. Able to tolerate slightly more frequent water than most succulents, it still prefers not to have consistently ‘wet feet,’ instead allowing the soil to dry through in between waterings. A porous soil mixture within a well-draining pot will help stave off any issues with rot or pests, as will ample airflow around the leaves and soil surface. During the spring and summer months, clusters of white blooms will emerge from the tip of each stem, adding yet another layer of texture to the stonecrop.
