  •   Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' is a low-growing succulent in the Crassulaceae family, prized as a frost hardy, drought tolerant succulent beloved by rock garden enthusiasts worldwide. Native to Europe, western Asia, and North Africa, it naturally colonizes rocky slopes, walls, and dry meadows where most plants struggle to survive. This mat forming succulent has earned a loyal following for thriving in conditions that would exhaust less resilient plants.

      Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' forms a dense, clumping carpet of tiny cylindrical leaves that blush from bright green to vivid coral-red as temperatures cool or stress increases, making color changing foliage one of its most eye-catching traits. The leaves are plump, glossy, and tightly packed along creeping stems that spread eagerly outward, creating a lush low mat rarely exceeding 3-4 inches tall. As a stonecrop ground cover, it fills gaps between pavers, spills over walls, and clusters into satisfying patches with very little encouragement.

      Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' produces cheerful clusters of small white star-shaped flowers on upright stems in late spring to summer, attracting pollinators and adding a delicate contrast to the coral-tinted foliage below. The blooms are a reliable annual feature and, while not strongly fragrant, they do produce pollen that may be relevant for allergy-sensitive households. This blooming period is a highlight in any full sun succulent planting, drawing bees and beneficial insects throughout the season.

      Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' is genuinely easy care, thriving in partial sun to full sun and handling balcony wind, rain, and even drafty outdoor spots without complaint. It tolerates dry heated air indoors and can survive a 10-day trip without a caretaker, making it ideal for busy plant lovers or frequent travelers. Move it outside for summer to encourage the best color, then let it stay outdoors well into autumn since it is impressively frost tolerant. As a wide spreader with trailing, clustering growth, it excels as a rock garden plant, a low maintenance ground cover between stepping stones, or a striking container edge plant.

  •   Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' thrives in full sun to partial sun, with direct sun producing the most vivid coral coloring.

      Water Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' every 10-14 days in summer, reducing to once a month or less in winter.

      Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' performs best in well-draining, gritty soil such as a cactus mix blended with coarse perlite or gravel.

      Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' tolerates temperatures from around -30°F (-34°C) to hot summer highs above 90°F (32°C) with ease.

      Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' is a moderate to fast spreader that rarely needs fertilizing; a light feed once in spring is plenty.

      Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' is hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, tolerating frost as severe as -30°F (-34°C) with no protection needed. That range covers an enormous sweep of the country, including Alaska, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Wisconsin, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and California. Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' also grows beautifully across the mid-Atlantic and southern states, including Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Florida's cooler northern regions, making it one of the most widely adaptable frost hardy succulents available.
  • Q: How much sun does Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' need?

    Q: Is Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' safe for pets?
    A: Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' is generally considered low-toxicity, but ingestion can cause mild stomach upset in cats and dogs, and the sap may cause minor skin or paw irritation. Keep curious pets from chewing on it to be safe.

    Q: How fast does Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' spread?
    A: Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' is a moderate to fast spreader, filling in gaps and forming a dense mat over one to two growing seasons. Its clumping, trailing, clustering growth habit makes it an excellent low maintenance ground cover for rock gardens and borders.

    Q: How do I propagate Sedum album 'Coral Carpet'?
    A: Propagating Sedum album 'Coral Carpet' is simple: snip a stem cutting, let it dry for a day or two, then press it onto moist, well-draining soil. Roots typically establish within a few weeks, and divisions from established mats work just as easily.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
