Poznań Tram Tracks Flourish with Sedum Green Cover

In Poznań, Poland’s fifth largest city, green ground cover has been planted on and surrounding the main tramway. The project was commissioned by APK Green Roofs and Sempergreen supplied 1350 m² of Sedum-mix blankets for the project.

Direct-green from day one

Pre-cultivated Sedum-mix mats arrive with 95% coverage, creating an instant green effect and minimizing weeds.

Built for infrastructure

Sedum thrives under harsh roadside conditions, buffers rainwater, and improves air quality.

Every square foot counts

Even traffic islands become stepping stones for biodiversity, supporting bees, butterflies, and other insects.

Continuation of a green tradition

As early as 1930, the capital, Warsaw began planting grass on the tramway. In 2017, the municipality switched to Sedum, because of its low maintenance and quick and easy installation. In addition to Warsaw (and Wrocław), Poznań is also greening its tramways. It is a relatively simple way to make a city greener and more sustainable. In Poznań, the tram network comprises 20 lines and spreads over approximately 41 miles on standard gauge. So there is a lot of urban green to be achieved.

A colorful appearance

Sempergreen’s direct-green ground covering requires little maintenance. It is also environmentally friendly, absorbing CO2 and particulate matter, while providing a water-buffering and cooling effect on the urban environment. In addition, the Sedum plants offer a colorful appearance throughout the seasons, with a flowering time from May to September.
