Sedum spurium 'Chocolate Blob'
Sedum spurium 'Chocolate Blob' is a striking ground cover succulent with dark green, to almost black, rounded foliage that resembles the colour of chocolate at different times in the growing season. This low-growing perennial is a fast grower that forms a dense mat of evergreen foliage, perfect for small or narrow spaces or in poor soil conditions. In autumn, the foliage is adorned with petite clusters of dark pink flowers, adding a burst of colour to the already stunning foliage.
Native to the Caucasus, Iran, and Turkey, this low-maintenance, dry-tolerant plant is an ideal choice for Australian gardens. It prefers full sun to light shade and well-drained, sandy or gravelly soil. Once established, it has low water requirements and is drought tolerant, making it a great choice for those who want a beautiful garden without too much fuss.
Sedum spurium 'Chocolate Blob' is a robust plant that is easily propagated by cuttings or division. Its creeping, branching stems root at the nodes, making it a fast-spreading ground cover. It grows up to 15cm in height and spreads 45-60cm wide. The thick, succulent leaves are arranged in two rows along the stems, hence the common name of two-row stonecrop.
This sedum is a showstopper in any garden setting. Its foliage is evergreen in warm winter climates and turns deep burgundy in fall for overwintering. Sedum spurium 'Chocolate Blob' is an attractive option for rock gardens, border fronts, stone wall pockets, sunny banks or slopes, edging, or containers. It is also a magnet for butterflies and tolerant of rabbits, deer, drought, shallow-rocky soil, and air pollution.
In summary, Sedum spurium 'Chocolate Blob' is a versatile, hardy ground cover with stunning dark chocolate foliage and pretty pink flowers. It is easy to grow and maintain, drought-tolerant, and ideal for those wanting to add interest to small spaces or poor soil conditions. Its fast-spreading habit, combined with its attractive appearance, makes it a popular choice for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance, yet visually appealing plant.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
