Sedum 'Touchdown Teak'
Best low-maintenance groundcover for busy gardeners seeking year-round color.
This stonecrop is the ultimate low-effort groundcover for gardeners who prioritize year-round color over high-maintenance blooms. It trades delicate, fleeting flowers for a dense, weed-suppressing mat of deep plum foliage that stays vibrant even when the rest of the garden goes dormant.
