WINTER FIRE® Sedum
Petrosedum rupestre 'Rice Creek'
Add interest to your winter landscape with WINTER FIRE® sedum! This cold-hardy succulent has soft-pointed, fleshy leaves that change from rustic green in summer, to ember red in autumn, to dark burgundy in winter. Clusters of yellow flowers appear in July and August. This drought-tolerant sedum is perfect for containers or to plant along pathways and around shrubs, as it can help act as fire-retardant mulch.
