DESCRIPTION
Sedum spathulifolium 'Cape Blanco' is a distinctive evergreen succulent known for its rosettes of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves covered in a silvery-white powdery coating. This powder, called "farina," gives the plant a unique frosted appearance, which contrasts beautifully with its occasional tinge of pink or purple, especially in cooler weather. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of small, bright yellow star-shaped flowers, adding a vibrant pop of color against the silvery foliage.
Native to the West Coast of North America, particularly the Pacific coastal regions, 'Cape Blanco' was named after Cape Blanco, the westernmost point in Oregon, where this sedum naturally grows on rocky cliffs. Its natural hardiness and drought tolerance made it a favorite for rock gardens, containers, and green roofs. This variety has become popular for its low-maintenance charm and ability to thrive in difficult conditions while providing year-round interest.
