Slow growing, succulent Cape Blanco Sedum is an easy-to-grow and low-maintenance plant perfect for borders, containers, rock, and alpine gardens, or where mass plantings are needed. Winner of an Award of Garden Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society. Small bright yellow flowers cover the foliage for over a month in summer. Birds, bees, and butterflies love the flowers. Deer and rabbit resistant, it’s a great pick for garden edges or retaining walls. Evergreen, it naturalizes over time to form colonies of lovely grey-green foliage in zones 5-9. Plant it where its foliage can accent and highlight other garden perennials or create a mosaic of ground cover sedums in rivers of contrasting colors and forms Plant ‘Cape Blanco’ in poor to average or gravelly soil with good drainage in a sunny spot. It can tolerate some shade, but full sun is best. Native to the Pacific Northwest, good drainage is a key to success. It’s also sensitive to below freezing temperatures and may need a conifer bough mulch for cold winters.
