Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

'Frosty Morn' is a small, upright, compact, clump-forming sedum that grows to 8 to 12 inches tall and wide, and features fleshy, succulent-like, green leaves with creamy white margins. Clusters of tiny, white to pinkish flowers cover the foliage mound from late summer to early fall. Attracts butterflies, not so much deer and rabbit. A full-sun sedum.
As a group, sedums prefer well-drained soils, including sandy-loam, clay-loam, or rocky soils, as long as it is well drained. In nature, most sedums occur in light shade or partly sunny sites, while a few are also well-adapted to full sun situations. They can tolerate both drought conditions or more frequent watering, but the key is good drainage. Their xeric nature makes sedums popular for use in rock gardens, roof gardens, wall gardens, and living wreaths.
