Sedum Ground Mat Kit Our Enviromat® Sedum Ground Mat Kits contain everything you need to create beautiful ornamental ground cover . It flowers from April to the end of October. Primarily, it’s a truly stunning, very low maintenance alternative to a grass lawn. Furthermore, the foliage of our sedum ground mat kit is evergreen, beautifully textured and full of interest all year round. Not only are sedum ground mats great for a sunny spot but they are especially useful where the soil is very dry – or even non-existent. This means that you can create a luscious and beautiful area of foliage almost anywhere, bringing that space to life. As the mats are delivered with at least 95% plant coverage, you can rest assured that the finished project will look outstanding. All you need to do is place each slab onto a prepared surface and give them a good watering until established. How are they made? We seed our sedum ground mats with up to 18 different types of sedum, so you get a wonderful mix of foliage. Then the mats are nurtured outdoors in our Norfolk based nursery for 9-12 months or until they are big and strong enough for despatch. Initially, we choose plant species for their disease resistance, drought tolerance and long flowering period. So you should always get the best possible results. The matting itself is specially made using recycled products, so you can also feel proud that you are helping to keep the environment healthier. Not only is it strong and easy to handle it is also designed to keep the growing medium (substrate) within the mat. As a result our sedum ground mats feature no loss of substrate due to handling, transportation or even heavy rain after installation. For that reason, sedum is great for sloping banks or for disguising manhole covers (the mat can be easily moved to allow access). Stanton Cross Case Study Sedums are drought tolerant and will only need an occasional watering during long spells of dry weather. Other than that, the only maintenance needed is an application of a specialist sedum feed every spring. How versatile is sedum?
