Sedum pachyclados (Gray Stonecrop)

Prized for its texture and color, Sedum pachyclados (Gray Stonecrop) is a low growing, succulent perennial forming a tight carpet of blue-green rosettes for a unique appearance. The leaves tips are usually adorned with 3 small teeth and are tightly whorled around the end of the stems. Blooming in spring and sometimes in the fall, white star-shaped flowers look handsome against the blue-green foliage. Native to Pakistan and Afghanistan, Gray Stonecrop spreads by thin rhizomes, slowly forming spreading mats. Ideal for the dry garden, it is an excellent groundcover and is the perfect sedum to tuck into a rockery or other small spaces in the garden. Frost hardy, drought tolerant, easy to grow, Gray Stonecrop is evergreen in mild winter climates.
