Rare Roots Sedum hakonense Stonecrop
Best vibrant foliage for rock garden enthusiasts.
This evergreen perennial offers a unique, low-growing mat of dark bronze-to-brown needle-like foliage, accented by star-shaped yellow flowers in late summer. Unlike many sedums, it thrives in light shade and is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established. Its compact size and resilience make it ideal for containers, rock gardens, or as a ground cover, while also resisting deer and coastal conditions.
