A native of south Korea, this variegated sedum is hardy in the UK, drought-tolerant, low-maintenance and very easy-to-grow - the gardener's perfect plant!

Perfect as ground cover, or for filling in gaps between plants, the succulent leaves of Atlantis forms a spreading mound of rosettes, reaching around half a metre or so wide.

In autumn, the plants are flushed with another colour change as the leaves take on a subtle pink blush. Found growing in Michigan in 2013 on a nursery that specialises in plants for ground cover, green roofs and walls, this hardy stonecrop is perfect for beginner gardeners or those looking to use eco-friendly, water-efficient plants in a modern garden Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready for immediate planting out, plants benefit from well-drained soil that stays on the dry side over winter
