Purple Form Creeping Sedum

Purple Form Creeping Sedum (Sedum hispanicum var. minus), also called Little Blue Spanish Stonecrop, features tiny evergreen succulent leaves. The colors shift in the sun, displaying shades of blue, purple and bronze. The plant blooms with a profusion of tiny pink flowers in late summer. Adapted to dry growing conditions, this is an excellent addition to rock gardens and succulent collection. Plant it in between other taller growing xeric (low water) perennials to form a nicely colored carpet that will spread and root as it grows. Spanish Stonecrop is a good companion plant for Sun Dancer Daisy (Hymenoxys), small growing beardtongues (Penstemon), and cold-hardy cacti (Echinocereus).
