Sedum spurium ‘Red Carpet’ | Red Carpet Stonecrop
DESCRIPTION
Sedum spurium ‘Red Carpet’ is a vibrant, low-growing succulent known for its rich, red-tinged foliage and showy pink flowers. The small, rounded leaves emerge bright green in spring but quickly develop deep red tones that intensify as the weather warms, creating a striking ground cover. In summer, it produces clusters of star-shaped pink to red flowers that contrast beautifully with the bold foliage, making it a standout addition to rock gardens, borders, or containers.
Originating from the mountainous regions of the Caucasus, ‘Red Carpet’ is prized for its ability to thrive in harsh conditions while providing stunning, year-round color. Its mat-forming habit makes it ideal for covering large areas, while its changing leaf color and summer blooms ensure that it remains visually dynamic throughout the seasons. This hardy and low-maintenance plant is especially valued for its drought tolerance and ability to add a splash of color to sunny spots in the garden.
