Growing the Bright and Colorful Neon Sedum


The Neon Sedum has huge domed flowerheads with bright magenta-rose flowers.  These flowers add an interesting and attractive appearance, and hardiness, to any garden.  Along with its dark gray-green foliage, and being one of the most beautiful sedums, Neon makes a great choice for fall color.  Since it doesn't bloom until the fall, Neon will give your garden a much needed fresh burst of color! 

Neon Sedum is a perennial that looks especially showy in a small mass planting.  It requires so little care and doesn’t need lots of babying.  Because it looks good all season, Neon is suitable for edging, specimen plants, and containers.

A sedum needs to be planted in full sun in well-drained soil.  It will tolerate most soil types and is drought resistant.  Plant with asters or coneflowers for a wonderful autumn display: attracts butterflies and bees.  Use Neon  as cut flowers to fill your autumn vases with brilliant pink flowers. 

The Neon reaches a height of 18-24” and has a plant spread of 18-24”.  Blooming from August to September, it grows in zones 3-9.
