Blue Bird Stonecrop (Sedum 'Blue Bird') is a low-growing, drought-tolerant succulent valued for its distinctive powdery blue foliage and spreading groundcover habit. The fleshy leaves form dense mats that add cool-toned color and texture to rock gardens, borders, and container plantings. In late summer, clusters of yellow star-shaped flowers appear above the foliage, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Like other stonecrops, it's drought-tolerant and thrives in well-drained soil and full sun.
