Sedum kamtschaticum | Russian Stonecrop
DESCRIPTION
Sedum kamtschaticum, commonly known as Russian Stonecrop, is a hardy, low-growing succulent that features fleshy, scalloped green leaves and vibrant yellow flowers. Blooming from late spring through summer, it produces clusters of star-shaped flowers that stand out against its rich green foliage. As the season progresses, the leaves often take on reddish-bronze tones, adding seasonal interest to rock gardens, borders, or ground cover plantings.
Native to the mountainous regions of northeastern Asia, including Siberia and Japan, Sedum kamtschaticum is valued for its resilience and adaptability to harsh conditions. Its ability to thrive in poor soils and withstand drought makes it an ideal choice for low-maintenance landscapes. The combination of bright flowers and foliage that changes color in cooler months ensures that it remains an attractive feature in the garden throughout the growing season.
