Chinese Stonecrop 'Coral Reef', Chinese Sedum 'Coral Reef'
Sedum tetractinum ‘Coral Reef’ (Chinese Stonecrop) is a low growing, evergreen, succulent perennial forming a tight carpet of fleshy, rounded, shiny green leaves. The leaves take on some coral highlights when exposed to full sun. In fall, the entire plant turns coral. Blooming in summer, yellow star-shaped flowers look handsome against the glossy foliage. Native to China, Sedum tetractinum is often used as a ground cover and as a lawn substitute in small areas. Ideal for the dry garden, it can be used as an edging, in rock gardens, or tucked into cracks in a rock wall.
