Sedum 'Green Mound' – Bright Green Groundcover for Pots, Rock Gardens & Landscapes

Sedum 'Green Mound' is a compact, low-growing succulent that forms dense cushions of fresh green foliage. Its tiny rounded leaves create a soft, carpet-like appearance, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, fairy gardens, green roofs, and decorative containers.

This hardy sedum spreads gradually to form neat mounds that add texture and year-round colour with very little maintenance. Its tidy growth habit makes it equally attractive planted between stepping stones, spilling gently over the edges of pots, or filling gaps in succulent arrangements.

Well suited to Australian conditions, Sedum 'Green Mound' thrives in sunny positions and copes well with dry periods once established. Its drought tolerance, easy care, and vigorous growth make it a favourite for both beginner gardeners and experienced succulent collectors.

Good to Know

Sedum 'Green Mound' is valued for its ability to quickly create a dense living carpet that helps soften hard landscaping while suppressing weeds and reducing exposed soil. Its shallow root system makes it particularly suitable for shallow bowls, wall planters, and rooftop gardens where lightweight, drought-tolerant plants are needed.

This variety pairs beautifully with Echeverias, Crassulas, Graptopetalums, Sempervivums, Delosperma, and other low-growing succulents, creating colourful mixed displays with contrasting textures throughout the year.

The succulent plant is supplied in an 80mm nursery pot. Images are representative of what you will receive; however, every plant is naturally unique and may vary slightly in size, shape, and colour.
