Description

Sedum spathulifolium 'Cape Blanco' is a cultivar of the Broadleaf or Spoonleaf Stonecrop with powedery grey foliage. The new growth is slightly more green and early in the season the growth is likewise more green, turning whiter and more grey as the hot summer weather sets in. The type species is a tough hardy native of western North America and is found along the west coast of both the USA and Canada and into the mountains. It performs well in wet British conditions and is also drought resistant.

Sometimes sold as Sedum spathulifolium 'Capo Blanco'.
