Description
The Sedum divergens, also known as spreading stonecrop or divergent stonecrop, is a small perennial succulent, evergreen in winter, ideal for covering a rockery, the top of a wall, or filling the surface of a flower pot. Low and densely packed, it is characterised by tiny round, succulent leaves arranged in an opposite pattern on the stems. Its white flowering is discreet, occurring in late spring. It is a carefree plant that is suitable for dry soils and requires very little maintenance.
The Sedum divergens, or cascading stonecrop or Pacific stonecrop, is a small perennial plant of the family Crassulaceae. It is a botanical species native to the western part of North America, from Alaska to northern California, passing through Oregon. Its natural habitat consists of cliffs and rocky slopes. With a relatively slow growth, this stonecrop does not exceed 10 cm in height and has a spread of 30 cm. Its creeping stems are covered with tiny, fleshy, rounded leaves of medium green. They often turn reddish in winter due to cold or in summer due to heat and drought. In May-June, small star-shaped white flowers appear in clusters. This sedum has excellent hardiness and can easily survive temperatures as low as -15 °C in well-drained soil.
In nature, this spreading stonecrop thrives in sunlight, rocks, and cracks in rocks, where it can live with little soil. Spreading sedums are ideal for mineral scenes, rockeries, and places with thin and poor soil. To accompany them, you can choose, for example, dwarf artemisias, other small sedums, houseleeks, or Delosperma. All these small plants will create a colourful mosaic.

Planting and care
Plant Sedum divergens in light, sandy or rocky soil, even dry, but with good drainage to protect the roots from cold winter moisture. A mix of compost, sand, and garden soil will work well between the stones of a rockery or on top of a wall. Plant it in full sun to enhance the foliage colour. This plant is very hardy, and once well-rooted, it can grow without watering. However, occasional watering during severe drought can improve its appearance. In pots, provide a layer of gravel for drainage. Divide the plant after 3 to 4 years to encourage vigorous growth and prevent it from thinning out in the centre and the lateral stems from collapsing onto the ground. Sedums are very easy to propagate. In spring, take a stem or leaf, let them dry for a few days in a dry and shady place, and then place them in a tray of moist sand.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
