Uses and Benefits: Sedum Puff Pastry™ White Chocolate is a standout choice for sunny borders, rock gardens, containers, and mixed groundcover schemes. Its clean, long-lasting blooms and textured foliage attract pollinators, repel deer and rabbits, and offer winter interest with dried flower heads. Low-maintenance and reliable, it’s perfect for gardeners seeking easy elegance.

Companion Plants: Pair with Coreopsis 'Sassy Saffron' for warm golden blooms, Veronica 'Pink Candles' for upright soft pink spikes, and Festuca 'Beyond Blue' to add a cool silvery-blue grassy texture that contrasts beautifully with its creamy flowers.
