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.

Perfect for an English Bulldog 🐶
Size: 41.3 x 27.5, Color: Grey
Very good bed, super soft and comfortable. My English Bulldog loved it from day one and uses it all the time. The size is perfect and it doesn’t sink too much. The non-slip bottom keeps it in place. It’s also easy to wash and comes out like new, which is a big plus. 100% recommended. 🐾

Great Product at an Amazing Price!
Size: 41.3 x 27.5, Color: Coffee
I bought 2 of these crate liners to use as beds when I board my dogs and I couldn't be more thrilled with them! These beds are much sturdier than I expected for the price, very thick and comfy and both of my dogs love theirs! Even my 130lb Fila x Rottie is supported by this bed, and he's cushioned from the cement floors at the boarding facility enough I don't worry about any pressure sores on him. I'll definitely be buying extras of these beds to have on hand.

Nice doggy beds for the fur-babies!
Size: 41.3 x 27.5, Color: Grey, Size: 41.3 x 27.5, Color: Grey
This is nice, soft and fluffy, the fur-babies seem to love it. It does shed a lot so far. Females have been fluffing it themselves (dig/scratching) and has seem to be holding up well. These arrived vacuumed sealed. I was a little worried there would be a strong scent but was pleasantly surprised they aired out very well. I think these will be a nice addition to my fur-babies kennel. I only wished I would have sized up one more for a better fit for my kennel that’s interiorly 53x45. I think these 47x35 instead of 41x27 would have fit better. Other than the shedding and (my fault) the sizing I think they are great. I think a removable cover would have been nice but these are priced right I could always just buy again if need be.
