This carefully selected Sedum Green Roof Mix is designed to provide reliable, low-maintenance coverage for green roofs, living walls and shallow, free-draining substrates. Comprising a blend of hardy stonecrop varieties, it creates a resilient, drought-tolerant carpet of succulent foliage with seasonal interest throughout the year.
Sedums are well suited to exposed rooftop conditions. Their fleshy leaves store water, allowing them to withstand periods of heat and limited rainfall once established. During summer, the mix produces clusters of star-shaped flowers in shades of yellow, pink and red, attracting pollinators and enhancing biodiversity.
Low growing and mat-forming, this blend helps suppress weeds and provides consistent ground cover across extensive roof systems. It is suitable for lightweight substrates and performs best in full sun with good drainage.
Key Features:
- Specially blended for green roof applications
- Drought tolerant once established
- Low maintenance and resilient
- Seasonal flowers attractive to pollinators
- Ideal for shallow, free-draining growing media
A practical and environmentally beneficial planting solution, the Sedum Green Roof Mix delivers dependable performance, year-round structure and subtle colour in challenging rooftop environments.

Plant images are used for illustrative purposes only, so you know what your plant will look like once fully grown.
You’re purchasing your chosen size of plug plant (by selecting “Plant Size” option above).
Mini Plugs: Each plug is approximately 15mm sq, containing tender young seedlings in need of pricking out and potting on to grow before being planted out.
Midi Plugs: Each plug is approximately 20mm sq, plants are a little more mature than the mini's, can sometimes be planted out if the weather is good and the last frost has passed.
Maxi Plugs: Each plug is approximately 30mm sq, plants are more mature, sometimes over a year old, which can mean well developed root systems and/or fewer leaves due to winter dormancy or cutting back. Generally hardened off and garden ready, though for best results good weather is preferred for planting out.
