This is a great creeping sedum. Blue Spruce has nice blue foliage very reminiscent of blue spruce trees, hence the name. It spreads rapidly but not uncontrollably, putting down new roots where leaf nodes touch the ground, it will slowly fill a space. It is evergreen in most zones and hardy in zones 4-9. Like most sedums this plant is drought tolerant and can handle heat and dry weather, it does like bright sunlight, but can tolerate partial shade. While sedum can tolerate dry soils it also tolerates wet soils, so it is widely adaptable to the garden. This particular variety will be topped with yellow flowers in the summer, those flowers are more likely to occur if the sedum is planted in a sunny location. Bees absolutely love sedum flowers. I love sedum for containers because containers often dry out quickly and sedum can handle that no problem. I ship live plants in 2.5 inch pots or larger.
