Two of the best low-maintenance groundcovers you can plant, packed together.
Both are stonecrops — drought-tolerant, cold-hardy, and genuinely difficult to kill. They spread without much encouragement, ask almost nothing from the soil, and look good doing it. Plant them between pavers, across a rocky slope, in a container, or anywhere grass refuses to cooperate.
What's in the pack:
Sedum acre (Goldmoss Stonecrop) — About 50 live plants, approximately 2 cups. This one grows close to the ground in a bright, mossy mat, with tiny yellow flowers in early summer. It spreads readily, fills gaps in stone walls and pavers, and handles poor, dry soil better than almost anything else. If you've got a problem area nothing else will touch, Sedum acre is usually the answer.
Sedum rupestre (Jenny's Stonecrop) — About 12 live plants, approximately 2 cups. Blue-gray needle-like foliage with a slightly more upright, rosette habit than Sedum acre — a good visual contrast when the two are planted together. Yellow flowers, same drought tolerance, equally unfussy about soil. Also historically eaten as a salad green in parts of Europe, if you're adventurous.
Both varieties ship bare root, packed and labeled separately so you know which is which. They travel well this way — just plant them directly into your spot and water in. No fussing required.
