Sedum album ‘Coral Carpet’
Blooming Time
Exposure
Evergreen with flattened mosslike growth habit, ‘Coral Carpet’ is unique for its tiny, oval beanlike leaves which turn bright red in hot, dry, exposed locations as well as during the winter season. The effect of the leaves, especially in green roof settings, can be striking. And when topped with its prominent late spring and early summer display of white flowers, it is just that much more interesting. A great selection for rock garden, wall edgings, and green roofs, it combines nicely with many other low growing sedums.
