Overview
Chinese Sedum, also known as Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef', is a unique looking succulent plant. It has thick, fleshy leaves which range in color from a light grey-green to a striking pink-bronze hue. Its thick, leathery leaves form a tight rosette around each stem, making it a great choice for rock gardens or for areas in need of some extra texture. The Coral Reef cultivar stands out with its bright coral flowers that bloom in summer. This hardy drought tolerant plant can tolerate dry soil and is resistant to most pests.
