    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Sedum ochroleucum 'Red Wiggle' is an outstanding stonecrop reminiscent of 'Blue Spruce' and 'Angelina' in habit with narrow, succulent, lance-shaped leaves in whorls around the upright and ascending stems but in shades of cherry red and orange-red with new green tips creating multi-coloured carpets. The yellow flowers appear only occasionally.

    A colorful evergreen succulent perennial. The needle-like leaves are green when young and red with age, giving the plant a bicolor appearance. The whole plant turns bright red in fall in winter. Sedums grow best in well-drained, gravelly soil that is not wet in winter. Drought tolerant. Requires little water once established. Great as groundcover and container plant.
