Details
Sedum ‘Blue Spruce’ thrives on neglect and easily adapts to soils ranging from pure sand to solid clay. This Sedum gets its name from its small, blue leaves that resemble the needles of a Blue Spruce. It is a fast growing groundcover that produces masses of cheerful bright yellow flowers in the summer. Blue Spruce is a colorful companion plant for coneflowers, roses, and flowering shrubs. It is also an excellent accent plant in containers, rock, and alpine gardens. Sedums tolerate heat and humidity very well. This evergreen perennial will add visual interest all season long, including the spent flowers in the winter months.
