Turquoise tails sedum has proven to be winter hardy at the Xeriscape Demonstration Garden. It is has thrived in hot, dry locations, even those with very shallow soil.

This plant is evergreen, which adds visual interest to the landscape in the winter. We highly recommend it for rock gardens, pockets of soil in rock wall, and front edges of planting beds.

Remove flowering stalks after the blooms are finished.
