Sedums are exceptionally drought tolerant succulents. Many lower growing varieties are excellent for use as a groundcover or border.

We plant sedum groundcovers along walkways or paths, on small embankments and they look especially nice around the rocks and boulders of the garden pond or rock garden.

The sedum groundcovers listed below have been selected based on their overall aesthetic contribution and performance in Zone 8.

'Angelina' is one of the best groundcover sedums yet for quick coverage and brilliant yellow tones. Angelina grows 3-4" tall and spreads 2 feet wide in a single season, and in Zone 8 the foliage will turn to a rich orange. You can't beat this bold golden sun-lover for scrambling across hot, dry, poor soils that other plants shun! Zone 6-9

'Gold Carpet' is one of the finest ground covers for sunny dry slopes and banks. The Sedum has masses of yellow star-shaped flowers that cover it in late spring and early summer. Rich green scalloped leaves the rest of the year. Grows to 5" tall. Zone 6-9

'Ogon' is one of the few sedums that does really well in afternoon shade. Glowing yellow foliage is outstanding in the garden. Zone 7-9

'Tri-Color' is a very attractive sedum groundover that has white, pink and green tricolor foliage. Pink, star-shape flowers, on short stalks, rise above the foliage in summer.
