Sedum spurium ‘Album Superbum’

Description

Often referred to as “the white-flowering spurium”, Sedum spurium ‘Album Superbum’ features a good spreading habit, beautiful green foliage, and clusters of star-shaped white flowers. Like all spurium, leaves drop in autumn but sets rosettes at the base of each stem that persists through the winter. Flowers bloom mid to late summer into autumn, providing great late-season interest.

This variety does not tolerate the summer heat and humidity as well as other cultivars, and may go into dormancy to re-emerge in fall. It will tolerate a good amount of shade, although this may affect flowering.
