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.
This sedum has attractive red needle-like leaves. The new growth is green, contrasting nicely with the red tones. In winter the entire plant is a glowing red. Easy to grow. Provide summer water. Full sun to part shade. Grows under 6in tall and spreading. USDA zone 5.
