Green Wall Plant Feature: Sedum a. 'Orange Ice'


Sedum a. 'Orange Ice'

A fantastic selection with green foliage during summer, which turns a unique orange color in fall and winter. Blooms in mid summer with many clear white flowers. It is an evergreen variety.

We choose 'Orange Ice' because it is very low growing, but in our Green wall, it is the slowest variety to fill in so far. It will be interesting to see how it compares with others over the long run.
