Sedum 'Tricolor' is a terrific groundcover to brighten up drab, dull places in your garden. Green leaves are edged in white with a pink blush. The pink coloring is especially pronounced in cool weather. In summer, pink flower clusters emerge from the tips and provide a butterfly landing platform above the foliage. A great, colorful carpet along pathways, on slopes to reduce erosion, or under shrubs or trees. Mixes very well with other Stonecrops and succulents, and looks great amongst rocks. This selection may occasionally produce all-green shoots, which should be trimmed off. Evergreen in milder climates. Also known as Phedimus spurius.
