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.

Perfection!
Color: White, Color: White
Oh my! A design so simple but so effective! I had a towel holder but when I went to pull a piece off..it would hardly budge. I use jumbo towels(triple rolls from Costco)I would have to hold it. And it would only work smoothly when the roll was down some. Then it would spin too fast!🙄 This holder..nope..the suction cups are nice and strong..and when I pulled a piece off..the spin was perfectly smooth and calculated... and you can tear off the piece perfectly You can hear the spin movement. SOOO glad I bought this..yes..it is expensive for a towel holder BUT...it does EVERYTHING its supposed to do! In my book...worth it. Do not hesitate...it's a keeper! And the white is perfect for my bathroom...blends in beautifully. But the choices are nice for any decor.

Excellent for one-handed operation
Color: Silver
This one-handed paper towel dispenser is very good quality. The suctions cups work very well on a clean, smooth surface. Has a good solid feeling while pulling off paper towels with one hand. You might have a slight learning curve on to how to pull correctly. Pull the paper towel only just far enough out that there is still good tension on the towel. Then pull the towel downward and close to the roll. A little practice will be rewarded with satisfaction of this product! Comes in so handy when you have one messy hand and only your other hand to pull off one or several towels. If pulling several sheets at once remember to pull them straight outward, then pull the last sheet downward and close to the roll. No fuss removing the used cardboard roll and replacing with a new roll. Assembly is easy. The assembly instructions aren't good quality but the parts only fit together one way. The dispenser will end up looking like a two-tier spoon carousel with the spoons hanging upside down. I would buy this as a gift for family or friends.

Sticks to the counter like superglue
Color: Silver
This paper towel holder definitely sticks to my granite countertop and wont move. I put it is a spot where that would not be a problem. If you need to move your papertowel holder daily, don't buy this one because you can barely pull it off the counter. But great product if you don't need to move.

works great
Color: Silver
I went through several towel holders but they did not unroll the towels smoothly. This one’s does. You can tear the paper towel off without a bunch coming undone. It’s very sturdy. Looks great by our kitchen sink. Only issue is if the A/c hits it in unravels, so we had to move it to an area where it was not hit by the A/C. Simple fix.
