Sedum spurium 'John Creech' or
Two-row Stonecrop
or
Phedimus spurius
is a perennial succulent plant with
a low growing habit. In late Spring, lovely small rose pink
flowers appear among bright green foliage.
Sedum
spurium 'John Creech'
is easily propagated from cuttings or division of rootballs. It is
easy to grow and performs best in a sunny to part shade environment.
Phedimus spurius is slow growing and soon forms a nice mat. It is
not invasive and it is a great choice for the rock garden.
Plant some in a shallow container to show off its beautiful rare rose
blossoms. Grown in masses, Two-row Stonecrop
makes excellent groundcovers. It is great for edging or borders.
Sedum spurium 'John Creech' tolerates drought and
is an excellent xeriscaping plant.
