Roll Out the Red Carpet for Sedum - Elizabeth Red Carpet

 Sedum Red Carpet

Sedum Spurium 'Elizabeth Red Carpet'  is quite a sight to see.  I am used to seeing Sedum used mainly in rock walls or rock gardens.  It's a good plant for areas that most things don't like to grow in.  It actually likes dry soil, full sun and grows fast.  It's red flowers put on a show from May to September and even attracts butterflies and hummingbirds with their bright red color.  It makes a good ground cover, border or for edging flower beds and it can even cheer up any bland and boring areas of your landscape.  It's foliage is green and it will mature to 3-4 inches tall and can spread to up to 2 feet. 

Elizabeth Red Carpet is a perennial and will give you years of joy.  It is one of the most colorful Sedums available.  It's a very durable plant and has the added plus of being disease resistant.  With all of it's wonderful attributes and the options of watching birds, butterflies and hummingbirds, doesn't it make you want to relax in your easy chair nearby and enjoy?
