Sedum sediforme 'Kent Belle' - golden stonecrop for rockeries and sunny gardens

Sedum sediforme 'Kent Belle' is a low-growing, spreading perennial succulent, valued for its bright foliage in shades ranging from yellowish green to golden yellow, which forms compact, decorative carpets.

During summer, it produces inflorescences with small, star-shaped, yellow flowers that enhance the plant's bright appearance. Thanks to its drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements, it is very suitable for rock gardens, low borders, dry-stone walls, gravel gardens, or pots placed in sunny areas.
