Vigorous plant, spreading cheerfully; its foliage has taken on beautiful autumnal green-coppery hues, after the summer moss-green.

Description
Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' is a perennial and hardy stonecrop with a very creeping habit and small fleshy dark green rosettes. Its beautiful foliage turns to a reddish-bronze colour in autumn. In summer, it produces an abundance of small yellow star-shaped flowers. Hardy and evergreen, its creeping quality makes it a great alternative to lawns in low-traffic areas. Like all sedums, it thrives in poor, even limestone, soil with little substrate thanks to its shallow root system. It prefers full sun as it requires high light intensity and well-drained soil. It can withstand temperatures as low as -15°C (5°F) and periods of high heat and drought. It is perfect for filling gaps, dressing up pots, or adding colour to rock gardens.
Sedum tetractinum is a succulent plant from the Crassulaceae family, native to southern China. It thrives in extreme environments: its ability to store juices in its fleshy leaves and stems allows it to mobilise them in case of water scarcity. Sedum can either creep and act as ground cover or have an upright habit. Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' is an evergreen variety with a creeping habit, reaching a height of 15cm (6in) at maturity and easily forming a very dense carpet. The fleshy and tightly packed leaves form dark green rosettes. From June to August, an abundance of small yellow star-shaped flowers appear, but the plant is especially prized for its beautiful ground-covering foliage, which turns a reddish-bronze colour in autumn.
Sedum is a modest and adaptable plant. This stonecrop is perfect for quietly colonising all corners of the garden. Plant it along pathways, at the edge of a patio, at the base of a wall, or in pots. It pairs well with all rock garden plants, requires no maintenance, and fills in neglected spaces. It is suitable for green roofs. It forms beautiful combinations with sempervivums, thymes, and saxifrages, for example.
Sedum is reputed to have healing properties for minor cuts, scrapes, or burns. It is also said to have diuretic and laxative effects.

Planting and care
Sedum doesn't have many requirements. It is satisfied with poor or ordinary soil with little substrate, even limestone, thanks to a shallow root system. The beautiful colours of the leaves and stems are directly dependent on the sunlight and the amount of water it receives. It should be placed in full sun and kept dry in well-drained soil to avoid moisture stagnation, especially in winter, which could harm the roots. It can tolerate freezing temperatures down to -15°C (5°F) and periods of high heat and drought. However, it still needs some moisture during its growing season. Reduce watering during its dormancy period. In pots, provide a layer of gravel for drainage. Trim the clump in winter when it is dry.

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.
