by Brianna Crandall — March 14, 2014— Midwest Groundcovers, provider of durable, sustainable plants for over four decades, has added QuickCover Sedum to its landscaping product offerings. The product made its debut at the August 2013 Illinois Landscape Contractors Association Summer Field Day.
“This great product offers solutions to many landscape situations,” stated Jill Bondi, Marketing Manager at Midwest Groundcovers. “It’s so simple, yet it has a variety of applications. With a promise of ninety-percent coverage at the time of installation, it’s perfect for hard-to-cover areas with little soil, excellent for slopes and fairy gardens, a great alternative to sod, and ideal for extensive green roof systems. Plus, installation is a breeze—simply lay the finished mat-like product over your media and water as necessary. That’s it, no holes to dig!”
The shallow one-inch depth of each 12″ x 24″ flat and the coarse lightweight media make QuickCover Sedum excellent for roofs with weight constraints, says the company. This inventive product is compatible with both green roof built-in systems and existing 24″ x 24″ green roof modular systems.
QuickCover Sedum is a mix of eight Sedum varieties—Sedum acre, Sedum album (“Murale”), Sedum floriferum (“Bailey’s Gold”), Sedum kamtschaticum, Sedum sexangulare, Sedum reflexum, Sedum spurium (“Dragon’s Blood”), and Sedum spurium (“Fuldaglut”)—which guarantees plant diversity, says Midwest Groundcovers. In the future, the company plans to offer additional plant species under the QuickCover product line.
