Red Carpet Sedum Succulent is a low-growing creeping succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to the Caucasus region of western Asia. It has naturalized across rocky slopes and dry hillsides where thin soil and full sun are standard.
Sedum 'Red Carpet' forms a dense, trailing mat of small, rounded leaves that deepen to burgundy-red tones in strong sunlight. Its clustering, clumping growth habit creates a carpet effect, with fleshy leaves packed tightly along sprawling stems that spill over edges, walls, and containers. The foliage grows 2 to 4 inches tall and spreads horizontally across soil and rock surfaces.
It produces bright, star-shaped pink to magenta blooms in summer, typically clustered in flat-topped heads above the foliage. A cool night temperature drop encourages budding and supports consistent annual flowering.
Move it outside in summer to soak up full sun and encourage deeper red leaf color. It handles balcony wind and rain without trouble, tolerates dry heated indoor air during winter, and propagates easily from stem cuttings pressed into well-draining soil. Sedum 'Red Carpet' is pet-friendly. Use it in rock gardens, container edges, balcony planters, and hanging baskets where its trailing habit extends freely.
