Sedum are characterized by fleshy, succulent leaves that store moisture, providing resilience in drier climates while looking good year-round. The plants often boast a compact, mat-forming or upright growth habit, creating a textured carpet or a vertical accent in the garden. In late summer and fall, Sedums burst into bloom with clusters of star-shaped flowers in shades of pink, red, yellow, or white. This late-season floral display not only attracts pollinators but also adds a burst of color when other plants may be fading. Choose this plant for an easy-to-grow and hardy addition to your garden suitable for mass plantings, edging, or groundcover.
Sedum is sold in packs of four, each pot measuring 3 1/2 inches.
Growing Tips:
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade; thrives in well-lit locations.
- Soil: Well-draining soil is crucial; Sedums are adaptable to poor, sandy, or rocky soils.
- Watering: Tolerant of drought; water sparingly, especially in well-established plants.
- Hardiness: Sedums are generally hardy in USDA zones 3-9, depending on the species and variety.
