Uses: "Dragons Blood" Sedum is not just an eye-catching plant but also a versatile one. It serves as an excellent ground cover, especially in areas where other plants might struggle due to poor soil or drought conditions.

Growth Habit and Planting Instructions: This sedum cultivar is a low-growing, spreading plant that typically reaches a height of 3-6 inches. The plants are ideal for rock gardens, borders, or as a ground cover in xeriscaped (low-water) landscapes. To plant, choose a sunny to partially shaded location with well-drained soil. It is tolerant of poor, sandy, or gravelly soil conditions. Sow the seeds directly on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in, as they need light for germination. Water sparingly, as the plant is drought-tolerant and excessive water can lead to root rot. Expect to see growth within 60-70 days from planting, although this can vary depending on soil and weather conditions. Once established, the plant requires minimal care and will even thrive in conditions of neglect.
