Sedum cauticola ‘Lidakense’ is a species of Stonecrop from Japan featuring reddish stems and round, blue-gray foliage with purple edges. Displays clusters of pink-red flowers in late summer. Sedums grow best in well-drained, gravelly soil that is not wet in winter. Drought tolerant. Stonecrops require little water once established.

Blue-gray leaves blushed with pink and a bit scalloped (very cute) make this a charming groundcover. Pink flowers add interest and more pink in the summer completely covers the foliage. To 10-12" tall and spreading to 1' wide in full sun to part shade. Drought tolerant but occasional summer water is appreciated. Evergreen 10 to 0 °F, USDA zone 7 and frost hardy in USDA zone 3, -30 °F.

Delightful round blue foliage on low spreading plants with gracefully arching stems. In late summer the foliage is completely hidden behind tiny brilliant star flowers. Tough and easy to grow, it loves a hot dry location and thrives in containers and rock walls. Deer resistant.

Small spreading mats of upright arching stems feature grey-green rounded foliage. In late summer leaf tips can take on some rose tones as the buds open to dark pink flowers. Very beautiful and versatile. Great in pots, rock gardens, or perennial borders.
