Sedum Hirsutum (Hairy Stonecrop)

Growth Habit

Sedum Hirsutum, commonly known as Hairy Stonecrop, is a low-growing, perennial succulent with a spreading habit. It forms dense mats of foliage, with stems that root at the nodes as they extend. The small, fleshy leaves are covered in fine hairs, giving the plant a soft, textured appearance.

Flowers

In early to mid-summer, Sedum Hirsutum produces delicate, star-shaped flowers that rise above the foliage on slender, upright stems. The blossoms range in color from white to pale pink or yellow, adding a subtle yet charming touch to the plant. These dainty flowers also attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing the biodiversity of the garden.

• Rock Gardens: Its compact, low-growing nature makes it perfect for rock gardens or alpine plantings, where it thrives in rocky crevices and gravel beds.

• Containers: The trailing growth habit and textured foliage make it an excellent choice for containers or hanging baskets, where it spills gracefully over the edges, creating a cascading effect.
