Sedum Mat (10 species) – Perennial succulent ground cover – Pack of 2 – Height: 20 cm

Yes, the Sedum Carpet (Sedum) is fully hardy and withstands unprotected winters across almost all of France. Stonecrops are outdoor perennials capable of enduring repeated sub-zero temperatures. Their fleshy foliage can take on reddish or bronzed hues in the cold, providing additional decorative appeal in winter. As soon as spring arrives, the stems grow vigorously again. No overwintering under cover or protection with dead leaves is required under normal conditions.

Yes, the Sedum Mat is particularly suited for greening flat or slightly pitched roofs. Sedums are the global standard for extensive green roofs: their shallow root system, drought resistance, and light weight make them the ideal solution. The mat is laid directly on a special drainage substrate designed for green roofs, with no need for'regular irrigation once established. In addition to its'aesthetic appeal, it provides thermal insulation and improves stormwater management.

Installing the Sedum mat is quick and easy. Start by lightly scratching the soil or growing medium'to break up the surface crust and make it easier for the roots to'take hold. Lay the mat firmly against the ground, leaving no'gap between the root mat and the soil. If you are covering a large area, lay the mats edge-to-edge, overlapping them slightly to avoid gaps. Water thoroughly when installing, then once a week for the first 4 to 6 weeks until the roots have established themselves in the soil. After this initial'establishment period, the Sedum becomes almost self-sufficient.

The Sedum Carpet brings together a carefully selected mix of 10 complementary varieties of stonecrop (Sedum spp.), chosen for their different flowering periods, growth habits, and colors. It generally includes species with soft green, glaucous, bronze, or reddish foliage, with white, yellow, pink, or purple flowers depending on the season. This diversity guarantees a natural and dynamic-looking carpet, never uniform, which evolves visually throughout the year.

Yes, the Sedum Carpet is a real asset for the garden's biodiversity. The flowers of'stonecrop, produced in summer and autumn depending on the varieties, are particularly rich in nectar and pollen and attract large numbers of bees, bumblebees, hoverflies and butterflies. The autumn flowering of Sedum is valuable because it occurs at a time when floral resources are becoming scarce. By planting this carpet in your garden, you create a real low-level ecological corridor, beneficial for all local pollinating wildlife.

Each Sedum mat measures 50 cm in length by 30 cm in width, providing an immediate ground cover area of 0.15 m² per panel. To cover a larger area, simply lay several mats side by side, edge to edge. The plant density of the mat is sufficient upon installation to cover the ground and limit weed growth. Within one season, the succulents begin to spill slightly over the edges of the mat to colonize the spaces between the panels, enhancing the 'natural and continuous appearance of the ground cover.

Yes, the Sedum Mat s'is very well suited to use on a patio or balcony, provided you have a'container or a'sufficiently wide tray and'full sun exposure. Choose a shallow container (15 to 20 cm is enough), filled with'a well-draining substrate, such as a cactus and succulent mix. The mat can be placed directly on it, creating a living, decorative plant display that is extremely heat-resistant. On a south-facing patio exposed to drying winds, Sedum is'one of the few perennials capable of thriving without daily care, making it the ideal plant for low-water outdoor spaces.
