Sedum forsterianum 'Oracle' (Rock Stonecrop) – Creeping Alpine (Set of 3 or 6)

Sedum forsterianum 'Oracle' is a low creeping stonecrop with blue green, needle like succulent leaves and bright yellow starry flowers in summer.

It spreads into a dense evergreen mat 10 to 20cm high, rooting as it goes, and the cool blue green foliage looks good in every month of the year. The yellow flowers rise just above the mat in early to midsummer.

Plant it in full sun in soil that drains freely. It is happy in poor, stony or sandy ground, needs no feeding and, once settled, is thoroughly drought tolerant, which makes it a natural choice for wall tops, gravel, rockeries, the cracks in paving and shallow pots. Waterlogged soil is the only real risk. Supplied as a set of three or six plants, each as a well rooted root ball ready for planting.
