🌿 Sedum lineare ‘Sea Urchin’ – Fine‑Textured Groundcover

A soft, fast‑spreading succulent for sunny gardens

Sedum lineare Sea Urchin is a bright, fast‑spreading succulent groundcover known for its fine, needle‑like foliage and soft, trailing habit. Because this variety thrives in full sun, heat, and poor soils, it is one of the most reliable choices for water‑wise gardens, borders, rockeries, and container plantings. Its dense, mat‑forming growth makes it ideal for filling gaps, softening edges, and creating a glowing carpet of colour.

🌿 Growth Habit & Appearance

This sedum forms a low, spreading carpet of slender, bright green leaves that create a soft, sea‑urchin‑like texture. The foliage remains vibrant throughout the year, especially in sunny positions. Mature plants typically reach 5–10 cm in height and spread 40–60 cm, making it perfect for edging pathways, filling between stepping stones, or cascading over retaining walls.

Its ability to root along the stems allows it to spread quickly, creating a uniform, weed‑suppressing groundcover. In summer, small yellow star‑shaped flowers appear, attracting bees and pollinators.
