The Story
Plant Bio
Groundcover sedums are vigorous, low-growing succulent perennials that excel at covering ground in hot, sunny, and dry locations. They are valued for their colorful foliage and summer flowers.
'Boogie Woogie' is a particularly energetic and cheerful variety, forming a quick-spreading mat of small green leaves brightly edged in creamy yellow. This vibrant foliage is complemented by clusters of sunny yellow, star-shaped flowers in summer.
