Sedum spurium ‘Red Carpet’ (Caucasian Stonecrop) is mat-forming evergreen perennial with fleshy, bronze and green leaves that turn beet-red in fall and winter. The striking foliage remains attractive throughout the growing season. Sitting atop short stems, clusters of deep reddish-pink, star-shaped flowers appear in summer. Drought tolerant, ‘Red Carpet’ can withstand poor, dry soil conditions. Wonderful as a ground cover, in the rock garden, along walkways or cascading over stone walls.
