Dragon's Blood Stonecrop (Sedum spurium 'Dragon's Blood')

Dragon's Blood Stonecrop is a tough, low groundcover that adds rich color and reliable coverage to sunny spaces with very little upkeep. Its succulent foliage forms a dense mat that helps fill gaps and keep beds looking finished through heat and dry weather. As temperatures cool, the foliage typically deepens to burgundy and red tones for extra seasonal interest. In summer, bright starry flowers add a vivid bloom layer and bring pollinators into the garden.

Distinctive Features

This mat-forming stonecrop spreads by creeping stems to create a carpet of small, fleshy leaves that range from green with red edging to deeper red tones, often turning burgundy in fall. In mid to late summer, clusters of small, star-shaped flowers appear in rich pink to red shades, standing out clearly above the foliage. The plant is valued for its drought tolerance, ability to handle poor soils, and consistent color in full sun. It can also be semi-evergreen in milder winters, helping maintain interest beyond the main growing season.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun provides the best foliage color and flowering, with part sun tolerated.
  • Soil: Plant in well-drained soil, including sandy or rocky sites, and avoid heavy, consistently wet conditions.
  • Water: Water to establish, then provide low water, allowing soil to dry between waterings once established.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy in USDA Zones 3 to 9 in typical garden conditions.
  • Mature Size: Typically grows 3 to 6 inches tall and spreads 18 to 24 inches wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use a broad patch as a low focal point where the red foliage can read clearly against stone, mulch, or brighter plants.
  • Groundcover: Mass plant to create a dense mat that fills gaps and helps suppress weeds in sunny beds.
  • Rock Gardens: Tuck into rock and gravel gardens where sharp drainage and reflected heat are common.
  • Edging: Line paths and bed fronts for a clean, low border with season-long color shifts.
  • Between Stepping Stones: Use where foot traffic is light and you want living color between pavers.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Shear lightly after flowering or in early spring to refresh growth and keep the mat dense.
  • Fertilizing: Avoid heavy feeding, because lean soils help maintain compact growth and better color.
  • Mulching: Use a thin gravel top-dress if desired and keep stems from staying wet to reduce rot risk.
  • Watering: Reduce irrigation once established, as overwatering can lead to weaker growth and crown issues.
  • Propagation: Expand plantings easily by re-rooting small stem pieces in well-drained soil.

Why Choose Dragon's Blood Stonecrop?

  • Red Foliage Color: Leaves shift from green with red tones to deeper burgundy in cooler weather for long seasonal interest.
  • Summer Flowers: Pink to red blooms add a bright seasonal layer and support pollinators.
  • Waterwise Performance: Succulent growth handles heat and drought well once established in well-drained soil.
  • Tough Site Fit: Thrives in poor, rocky, and shallow soils where many plants struggle.
  • Easy Coverage: Spreading habit forms a dense mat that fills gaps and helps unify plantings.

Dragon's Blood Stonecrop is an easy way to add durable coverage and bold color to sunny, fast-draining areas. Pair it with ornamental grasses, silver foliage plants, or golden groundcovers to highlight its red tones. With sun and drainage, it stays tidy, resilient, and visually strong year after year.

Small, works with (some) induction units, just what I needed.
Size: 6.8oz/200ml Silver
It's small and the good thing about it is that it works with my induction (Nuwave Flex Precision, 1,300W.) Not perfectly, but will work. It doesn't work with my larger Duxtop (9600LS/BT-200DZ, 1,800W) because it is looking for more metal to sense before it can trigger the induction function. So, if you have a smaller induction unit it might work. If not, get a CozyKit 5.5" induction diffuser (on Amazon) and heat it up on that via induction. That diffuser should work on any induction unit. I guess we can't do links anymore even if on Amazon?? from attempting to post other reviews, so this is the text discr for the diffuser on Amazon, it's hard to find the smaller one otherwise: (Heat Diffuser Stainless Steel Induction Adapter Plate Removable Handle Coffee Milk Cookware Induction Hob Heat Cooking Diffuser for Electric Stove 5.5inch)

Well-Made and Handy for Small Drinks
Size: 6.8oz/200ml Silver
This HULISEN milk frothing pitcher is well made and feels sturdy in hand. The stainless steel finish looks nice and it pours smoothly, which helps when frothing or steaming milk. The 6.8oz size is perfect for single drinks, though it may feel small if you make multiple cups at once. Overall, it does the job well and is a useful addition to a home coffee setup.

Nice shape, highly polished, 200ml, 5+ stars.
Size: 6.8oz/200ml Silver
Very nice, highly polished with the feel of quality for the price. I'm very much an amateur barista. A trip to Italy inspired me to buy an espresso machine. I gained a whole new respect for coffee in Europe. The pitcher with my machine was too big to copy the Euro style cafe. Small quantities of milk were too shallow to froth properly even when tilting. The barista I watched in Italy was using a small pitcher so I decided to buy the 200ml version. It's a perfect size allowing a small amount of milk to be deep enough to froth. I brought back some roasted Italian coffee beans back to USA and wow! I'm very much a beginner but having fun.
