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.

Lovely dress. Good quality but squashes my boobs
Size: Small, Color: Navy Polka Dot
Size chart is accurate but if you have a large bust consider sizing up, the bust area doesn’t have much room so expect lots of cleavage if you have a large chest. It kind of squashed my boobs and doesn’t provide the best support. This is best for smaller chests. The quality is nice and it washes well. This can be worn with flats on a casual day or dresses up with some heels. This dress is lined and not see through.

My favorite this summer
Size: 9, Color: Red Leather, Size: 9, Color: Red Leather
These are very nice. I like this type of sandal with the "thong" feature while also having my foot gently hugged. These did not require much breaking in, seemed pretty comfortable from the first wear. I wore them to a high-end rooftop restaurant with a chiffon and silk maxi dress, and it worked really well, got compliments and all, though I have no good shots from there with these sandals visible. The red color definitely makes them pop, especially with black elements of the outfit. I also got them in black here, and in white from another store. Their shape is delicate, yet sharp and stylish, and they seem to be well-made. When I got these shoes, I took them to my artistic shoe repair guy, to promptly put protective layer on the front bottom of the soles. That way, it always looks like new, no scratched sole. That costs a bit, but worth it for me. I might buy a pair or two in some other colors, later. I am 5'10" tall, clothes size M, shoes - 9, 150lb. These shoes feel true to size.

Size up! Super comfortable!
Size: 10, Color: Black Leather
Super comfortable, can walk al night in them. I size up in anything steve madden. I’m usually a 9, but a 9.5 in steve madden fits almost exact so I get a size 10 in any of their shoes. Sizing is consistent throughout styles but I def need to size up. If you’re in between sizes, I suggest a whole size up. Unless you like an exact fit, personally I think an exact fit looks off any slight movement of your foot and the shoe looks like it doesn’t fit. I would say they’re pricey but they’re def a classy and comfortable pair of heels!
