Overview

Description
Building a hardy, succulent container garden is easy with gorgeous plants like Cape Blanco Sedum. Hardy to zone 5 with a light mulch, this hard-working sedum creates a mat of small gray succulent foliage, and pairs beautifully with other succulents – particularly Angelina Sedum and Hen and Chicks. In late spring, those gray rosettes are covered in clusters of starry yellow flowers which are highly attractive to pollinators. Like all sedums, grow Cape Blanco in light-to-average soils with excellent drainage. Full sun sites are always preferred.
