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.

You're a chump
The most unique thing about Malcolm X is he never wrote anything, he simply spoke the truth and that alone has proven to withstand the tides of time because his words are still fresh as ever. His speeches always find a way to get to your spirit and makes you rethink the world you are living in. After reading this book, i forget which speech it was exactly, he mentioned something about negores not knowing their history and it was up to them to go forth and reconnect with their homeland. This led me to wonder where I came from. Even though I am not black, I felt as if he was speaking directly to me and this is the kind of power he had. he made you look upon yoyurself and force yourself to ask, "Who am i? And Do I really hate myself?" Racism is still an issue in this country. It has not gone away and malcolm X was never afraid to point out the hypocrisy of the system I was taught to honor and defend. Surely, not one the best books on his speeches out there, but nonetheless powerful enough to get you thinking about the injustice we face everyday. A man who taught you how to be a human being in the end of his life. Today, more than ever his words should never be forgotten.

Malcolm speaks from the heart
"If George Washington didn't get independence for this country nonviolently, and if Patrick Henry didn't come up with a nonviolent statement, and you taught me to look upon them as patriots and heroes, then it's time for you to realize that I have studied your books well..." Malcolm X It is statements like this that make me love reading about Malcolm X. His intelligence, charisma and courage emanate from his words. He inspires, challenges and provokes his listeners to change their thinking. Not only does he challenge others, but he challenges himself to constantly analyze, to constantly evolve. Malcolm X Speaks is an excellent read, from cover to cover. If you want a good idea of where Malcolm was heading before his untimely death, this is the book.

The book was in excellent condition.
Format: Paperback
Truthfully, I can't find anything I dislike; the book arrived sooner than I anticipated. I have started reading the book (Malcolm X Speaks: Selected but have yet to finish. I am thinking about other books I will purchase in the future.

A beautiful mind
Malcom had the capacity to express his ideas in such an eloquent and smart way. This book is proof of that. I'm studying this great human being and now I consider this an essential book for anyone, any race, any place or gender that are looking to open their minds. Definitely a must read for any person.
