Sedum ‘Blue Spruce’ – Hardy Blue Succulent Groundcover

Sedum reflexum ‘Blue Spruce’, also known as Blue Spruce Stonecrop, is a striking succulent valued for its silvery-blue needle-like foliage that resembles the needles of a spruce tree. This low-growing sedum forms dense mats of evergreen foliage, making it a popular plant for rock gardens, succulent gardens, and drought-tolerant landscapes.

This hardy succulent spreads quickly and creates a soft, textured groundcover that adds colour contrast to mixed plantings. In summer, it produces clusters of bright yellow star-shaped flowers that attract pollinators and add seasonal interest.
