Sedum ’John Creech’ has semi-evergreen, small fleshy, emerald green leaves with serrated edges, growing in a whorl around the stem. It creeps to form a dense mat of succulent foliage with beautiful purple-pink to rose flowers in mid- to late-summer.

Rugged and tolerant of some foot traffic, it is well suited for path edges, between stepping stones, set within nooks in a stone-laid terrace, and in rock gardens. Often used as a ground cover for banks and slopes where you don’t wish to mow.

Neat and compact, it is drought tolerant and spreads 9-12" moderately fast. Mature height 2", spacing 6-10".

General info - Sedum:
Sedum is one of the most popular perennials grown in American gardens because it is very easy to grow and hardy in most areas of the country. Perhaps the hardiest and lowest maintenance groundcover available, they thrive in a wide variety of situations with no care. Because of its thick, succulent leaves which can store water, sedums define drought tolerance - never wilting in the heat.

Sedums are spectacular foliage plants, with leaves of many different sizes, shapes and colors. Both foliage and blooms evolve in color during the season: leaves start out green and flush with lavender, russet, copper, etc., over time; the colors of the flowers tend to deepen or soften as they age. Vibrant flower clusters bloom longer and later than most groundcovers, often until frost.

Often used as accents, on roofs, in rock gardens, for edging and covering large areas. Taller varieties make excellent cut flowers, lasting weeks. Some varieties grow in a mat-like fashion, while others are best used as an upright ornamental specimen.
