Description

Sedum spurium ‘Elizabeth’ is a vigorous and effective groundcover. New growth is cherry red in the spring, with red margins throughout summer. Rosy pink flowers appear in mid to late summer. In the colder months, pink tones begin to appear in the foliage, and by mid-winter, dark magenta rosettes are set. This plant tolerates light shade, however flowering and leaf color may be affected. An excellent choice for red color on a green roof.
