Sedum ‘Green Blob’ and ‘Purple Blob’ are wonderful examples of Sedum spathuifolium. These are low growing succulents, excellent ground cover plants AND they grow well in containers.

The difference between these two is the foliage colour one green the other purple.

How to Grow the Sedum ‘Blobs’

A few other Sebum ‘Blobs’ are available including ‘Silver’ and ‘Gold’ all have a similar growth habit and require similar care.

Like most succulent varieties these wonderful little plants require a free draining soil and are best grown in a sunny position. To prevent foliage damage a frost free position is recommended.

This is not a plant that really suited to very cold and wet winters. so in these conditions grow the plant in a sheltered position in a very well drained soil, or grow it in containers.
