Sedum spurium Voodoo

Common Name:
Stonecrop ‘Voodoo’

Description:
Sedum spurium ‘Voodoo’ is a low-growing, mat-forming succulent prized for its rich, burgundy-red foliage that intensifies in colour with cooler temperatures and full sun exposure. This hardy ground cover forms dense carpets of small, fleshy leaves that provide year-round interest, making it an excellent choice for adding colour and texture to rockeries, borders, and green roofs. In summer, clusters of star-shaped, deep pink to red flowers emerge above the foliage, creating a striking contrast and attracting bees and other pollinators. Exceptionally drought tolerant once established, it thrives in well-drained soils and performs reliably in Melbourne’s varied conditions. ‘Voodoo’ is low maintenance, requiring minimal watering and occasional trimming to maintain its compact form, and is ideal for filling gaps, spilling over edges, or suppressing weeds in sunny areas.
