Sedum is ideal for the extensive green roof system as it is a succulent plant – holding significant amount of water within its structure – meaning it can be used in areas where irrigation is inconsistent and access is often difficult. They grow in low nutrient, free draining substrates and are much lower maintenance than grass or bedding plants.
The sedum blankets are 2 metres long x 1 metre wide and are sown with a mixture of mature, established sedum plants designed to give an all-year round coverage of the area, to have variety of texture, colours and flowers throughout the summer, and to be strong, hardy and low maintenance throughout their life. The blankets are planted from cuttings and are approximately 12 months old.
The root structure is well established and held together by a polyester flexible grid membrane to ensure that there is not too much damage to the plants during the rolling up and delivery process. The plants are sown into a layer of mixed compost and aggregate and the blanket will be rolled out onto an aggregate based, free draining substrate of at least 70mm in depth (with adequate drainage and filtration layers installed beneath).
The sedum blankets are delivered rolled up onto pallets. They should be unrolled and installed as quickly as possible after arrival as the plants need good access to light and can become damaged if they are rolled up for too long a period.
