Little Blue Spanish Stonecrop, Tiny Buttons
Prized for its fine-textured foliage, Sedum hispanicum var. minus ‘Purple Form’ (Spanish Stonecrop) is a lovely spreading to cushion-forming, succulent perennial. Its dense blue-green foliage changes to a deep blue as the season progresses before taking on purple hues in winter. In late summer, clouds of pink, star-shaped flowers cover the foliage. Extremely easy-to-grow, Spanish Stonecrop is the perfect sedum to use along pathways, spilling over rocks or as a small-scale groundcover. It is also wonderful in containers where the foliage and flowers can be enjoyed throughout the season.
