Sedum
cauticola
by Iza Goroff
Sedum
cauticola is a choice and easy plant for the rock
garden. The genus sedum contains many species, some of which
are invasive and dangerous to introduce to the rock garden
(e.g. S. acre and S.
album) and others which are valuable.
Sedum cauticola is well
behaved. It has excellent gray foliage and attractive
purple-pink flowers. Its height is usually around 4" (10
cm.). It is best grown with some sun and is tolerant of a
wide range of (well drained) rock garden soils. Best of all,
it blooms in September when few other alpine plants are in
bloom.
