Enviromat includes all the growing medium the plants need so it is perfect for bringing plants and life where there is no soil or very poor soil.

The plant species in Enviromat have been chosen to give all year round ground cover and a long flowering season. Because they are low maintenance plants, there is no need for mowing, pruning or deadheading.    Just feed once a year for a fabulous floral display.

Enviromat sedum mat is ideal for establishing plants on to a soil-less surface such as a shed roof or a gravel garden….it’s great for disguising man-hole covers or adding interest to a patio.

Plants are pre-grown onto a mat with a lifetime supply of growing medium. Enviromat sedum mats are supplied with at least 95% plant coverage for instant greenery.

Sedum plants are drought tolerant succulents; ideally for ground cover and living roofs.  Sedums have nectar rich flowers that are attractive to butterflies and bees.
