Phedimus spurius, the Caucasian stonecrop [1] or two-row stonecrop, [1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae. It is still widely listed in the literature as Sedum spurium.
Phedimus spurius is a spreading evergreen perennial with alternate, simple, fleshy leaves on creeping stems. The flowers are pink, borne in spring through fall.[ citation needed]
Phedimus spurius is one of a number of species of sedum that segregate amongst the Crassulaceae in the Rhodiola clade, and were placed in the tribe Umbiliceae. These species are generally regarded as forming a separate genus, Phedimus. [2] [3] [4]} [5]
Several cultivars exist, of which Phedimus spurius 'Schorbuser Blut', with rich pink flowers, has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. [6] It is hardy to −20 °C (−4 °F) and below, but requires a sheltered position in full sun, with well-drained soil.
