Though this plant also goes by the name two-row stonecrop, that doesnt sound half as exciting as the name Voodoo (Sedum spurium Voodoo).

This long-lived plant is reliable and trouble free. A colourful perennial, Voodoo has a creeping or sprawling growth habit, which makes it perfect as a ground cover.

Around 15cm in height, it was named for the intense dark reddish-mahogany leaves. The mounding foliage is present throughout the year. This means it is very suitable for winter gardens.

Voodoo happens to be one of those perennials that are very pretty even when it isnt in bloom, something we cant say about all garden plants.

From late spring through mid-summer, the pink to red flowers open.

Best for full sun, Voodoo will grow in partial shade. However, the plants can get weak, and it will just look washed out. Voodoo thrives in a neutral to alkaline pH (6.5 to 7.5). Infertile, well drained soils suit it just fine. Unlike many perennials that behave as shrinking violets, Voodoo is equally at home in hot and cold climates.

In the garden it is best to space the plants about a foot apart. With their fast growth rate, theyll quickly fill the gaps. Voodoo is ideal for sunny banks and other areas where you dont wish to mow. Voodoo would also make a wonderful rock garden plant. In addition, this is a good choice for container gardens, as it provides color year-round.

Unlike some named varieties of succulents, Voodoo can be grown from seed. Most others can only be grown from cuttings. Depending on the temperature, the seeds may take several weeks to germinate. Plants wont bloom until the second year because the plants need some exposure to cold to induce flowering.
