Sedum Thundercloud

Common Name:
Thundercloud Stonecrop

Description:
Sedum 'Thundercloud', known as Thundercloud Stonecrop, is a compact, herbaceous perennial that forms a dense mound of heavily serrated, gray-green foliage. In late summer to early autumn, it produces clusters of white star-shaped flowers lightly flushed with pink, creating a cloud-like floral display. This plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils, tolerating dry conditions once established. Its low-maintenance nature and drought tolerance make it an excellent choice for rock gardens, borders, or containers. In Melbourne's climate, 'Thundercloud' performs well with minimal care, requiring only occasional watering during prolonged dry periods. Pruning back the spent flower heads in late winter encourages fresh growth in the spring.
