Bronze Carpet Stonecrop Sedum and Angelina Stonecrop
(Caucasian Stonecrop, Two Row Stonecrop) and (Cooked Yellow Stonecrop, Rocky Stonecrop)
Botanical Names: Sedum spurium ‘Bronze Carpet' and Sedum rupestre 'Angelina'
This listing is for two (2) Sedum plants that range in size between 4 and 6 inches in length. You will receive one (1) Angelina Stonecrop plant and one (1) Bronze Carpet Stonecrop Sedum plant.
The plants you will receive will be between these ranges of size as there will be slight differences from the photos in the listing as no two plants are the same. They will be guaranteed vibrant and healthy and ready for transplanting. We do not ship with the pot as the pot allows for too much soil moisture evaporation. It will be securely adhered to the package wall for the safest shipping method possible.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: From October to March, we ship these plants in their dormant state. This means they will have no leaves. The stem will be strewn with buds for this coming spring's growth. If you live in a southern state, these will push new growth upon planting them as dormancy is dependent on hours of daylight and temperature. We are located in New York State and temperatures can differ drastically around the country. Please contact us with any questions on dormancy. We do send dormant planting instructions with every order.
