Notes
'Coral Reef' Chinese stonecrop (Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef') is a succulent for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist soil of most types. It creeps to form a low mat that stays evergreen and tolerates drought. White to pale pink blooms attract butterflies, bees, and birds. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
Pairs well with Indian grass, Ornamental onion, and Common milkweed.
