Characteristics of Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef'
Native to China, Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' is a low-growing succulent perennial perfectly suited for temperate climates. It features evergreen, olive-green foliage that transforms into a golden-bronze hue in autumn. During summer, star-shaped yellow flowers brighten up any garden. Compact and low-maintenance, this plant thrives in poor soils and tolerates dry conditions. Its excellent cold tolerance (-20 °C) makes it a reliable choice for colder regions.
How to use Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef'?
Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' is a versatile addition to any landscape. Its spreading habit makes it an excellent ground cover for rock gardens, walls, or slopes. It also works well in borders, mixed beds, or containers, where it adds texture and year-round color. Thanks to its rapid spread and drought tolerance, it’s ideal for stabilizing slopes or for low-maintenance dry gardens.
Tips for successfully growing Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef'
When planting Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef', choose a well-drained soil, even if it is poor or rocky. Space plants 30 to 50 cm apart to allow them to spread. For the best foliage color, provide full sun, though it can tolerate light shade. Water moderately, as this stonecrop is drought-resistant. Fertilization is unnecessary—just a light compost application in spring will suffice. Maintenance is minimal, with occasional pruning to control its spread.
