Sedum Seeds - Purple Carpet Sedum (Spurium Coccineum Purple Carpet): An Excellent Ground Cover Option
The Sedum Purple Carpet, also known as Spurium Coccineum Purple Carpet, is a versatile and easy-to-grow perennial ground cover perfect for a variety of landscaping applications. From edging walkways to planting in rock gardens, this Sedum species offers a lovely carpet of deep rose-pink flowers that bloom from mid-summer through fall.
Featuring narrow, paddle-shaped leaves that spiral and form dense mats, Sedum Spurium Coccineum offers visual interest throughout the growing season. The foliage may even take on a beautiful brownish-red hue in autumn when planted in full sun. These hardy Sedum ground cover plants form a thick, lush carpet, often within the first year of growth from seed.
Sedum ground covers thrive in well-drained, gritty soils and prefer full sun exposure, although they will grow in partial shade as well. The tiny Sedum seeds should be mixed with fine sand for even sowing, then sown indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Use small pots or flats with a sterile starter mix, pressing the seeds into the pre-moistened soil without covering them. Keep the Stonecrop seeds consistently moist but not saturated until germination occurs.
If germination is slow or uneven, a cold period of 1-2 weeks in the refrigerator can help stimulate growth. These versatile ground cover plants are deer resistant and perform well in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9, reaching heights of 4-6 inches and widths of 12-15 inches at maturity.
Whether used to edge walkways, fill rock gardens, or cascade over stones and green roofs, Sedum Purple Carpet offers a low-maintenance, colorful ground cover solution for a variety of landscape applications.
