<i>Sedum pluricaule</i> ‘Isle of Sakhalin’ | Isle of Sakhalin Stonecrop
DESCRIPTION
Sedum pluricaule 'Isle of Sakhalin' is a low-growing, mat-forming succulent known for its unique blue-green, fleshy leaves that take on pink or red tinges, especially in cooler weather. This compact plant produces clusters of bright pink star-shaped flowers in mid to late summer, creating a striking contrast against its cool-toned foliage. Its vibrant flowers and attractive leaves make it a standout in rock gardens, containers, or as ground cover.
Native to the Isle of Sakhalin, a Russian island in the North Pacific, this sedum is well-adapted to harsh, rocky environments, making it a tough and resilient plant. The island's cold, rugged conditions contribute to the plant's hardiness and ability to thrive in difficult climates. Its unique origin and adaptability have made it a favorite among collectors of alpine and succulent plants, adding a splash of color and texture to cold-hardy landscapes.
