Cliff Stonecrop 'Lidakense', Cliff Dwelling Stonecrop 'Lidakense', Hylotelephium cauticola 'Lidakense'
One of the best sedums for containers, Sedum cauticola ‘Lidakense’ (Cliff Stonecrop) is a low growing, carpet-forming, succulent perennial with trailing to slightly ascending stems bearing rounded, pink-tinged gray-green leaves. In late summer and early fall, clusters of ruby colored, star-shaped flowers look handsome against the gray foliage. Native to Japan, Sedum cauticola spreads by underground stolons, slowly forming spreading mats. It is the perfect sedum to tuck into a rockery or other small spaces in the garden. It is also wonderful in containers where the foliage and flowers can be enjoyed throughout the season.
