Rock 'N Grow® 'Boogie Woogie'
PPAF, Can PBRAF
'Boogie Woogie', is a stable, summer-flowering groundcover type that will definitely make your garden feel groovy. This sport of 'Little Miss Sunshine' has cream margins that make the plant look bright and yellow all over and are sprinkled with yellow flowers during early to midsummer. A fantastic variegated option for a groundcover in the landscape. Perfect for rock gardens! Low, spreading sedums form a solid mat of foliage which is excellent for covering slopes or can be planted as a groundcover in sunny, dry areas. They are extremely drought tolerant and many are evergreen. These are terrific low-maintenance plants that always look their best.

Sedum is one of the most popular perennials grown in American gardens because it is very easy to grow and hardy in most areas of the country. Because of its thick, succulent leaves which can store water, sedum is drought tolerant. It should be sited in average to poor soil that is well-drained. Plants grown in rich soil tend to be lanky and open. Most varieties should be grown in full sun to light shade. The lower growing types, however, will survive in partial shade. Divide sedum every 3-4 years to maintain its compact growth habit. Older plants tend to split in the center if they have not been divided. Pinching the taller varieties back by half in early summer will also help prevent them from splitting. This plant is not usually bothered by pests or diseases. The seed heads of the taller varieties provide excellent winter interest and food for birds. Remove them in spring when the new growth begins to show.
