description

Woodland Stonecrop (Sedum ternatum) is a lovely, mat-forming evergreen groundcover that thrives in woodland settings! Its low, spreading habit looks beautiful creeping around rocks and gently filling in the garden floor.
Blooming from early May to June, delicate white starburst-like flowers rise above light green succulent leaves that form neat whorls along the stems. Woodland Stonecrop performs best in part shade to part sun with average to dry, well-drained soil, though it can tolerate full sun if given adequate moisture.
More than just an adorable groundcover, Sedum ternatum provides early spring nectar for pollinators. Its evergreen foliage offers year-round interest, often taking on a rich maroon hue in colder months before brightening again as temperatures warm!
