Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Growing Zones
The Winky Sedum (Sedum 'Winky') is a perennial with thick, succulent variegated gray-green foliage, topped by new foliage that is splotched pink and cream. The fleshy stems form low-growing small clumps that creep across the ground in a dense mat. Summer brings clusters of pink flowers the pollinators will love!
Sedums, also commonly known as Stonecrop, are highly xeric and a dependable choice for the garden that offers foliage interest early in the season and a colorful flower display later!
Winky Sedum is a Dwarf Succulent and grows USDA growing zones 4 to 8 and only grows 18-28 inches tall when in bloom and can spread 18-28 inches wide. Highly xeric and easy to grow, these tough little plants are low-maintenance once established!
Planting and Application:
Winky Sedum are perfectly happy decorating Rock Gardens, or spilling down the top of a retaining wall. Sedums are also great for water-wise, Xeriscape gardens. Give them water to get them established, and they'll thrive for you, even in low-water situations.
Sedums are the best solution for hard-to-plant banks, steep slopes, and that dusty garden spot that bakes in the sun. They can be planted closer for a faster carpet of color and the fabulous bold color really draws the eye.
Don't have a yard? No problem! Try planting them in a container for your balcony or deck! These little Sedums are fantastic houseplants too! They are perfect for that one container you have that doesn't get watered as often as it should, too. Use them as a lovely "filler" at the edge of all of your exterior container plantings. They'll naturally spill over the side of the pot to give a lovely effect.
- Little Green & White Foliage With Pink & Cream New Growth
- Bright Pink Flowers
- Low-Growing Dwarf Form Of Carpet Sedum
- Fantastic In Containers & For Xeric Sites
- Houseplant, Container Spiller & Thriller, Edging, Groundcover & Massing
#ProPlantTips for Care:
This easy-care low-maintenance perennial does best in full sun all day long! Indoors, give Sedum a bright indirectly sunny window. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sunlight in all but the hottest climates. If you are in Zone 9, consider planting in a location that receives light shade in the afternoon.
Perfect for beginning gardeners, Sedum is easy to grow in average, dry to medium, fast-draining soil. No need to amend the soil during planting. Provide a moderate amount of water on a regular basis throughout its first year in your landscape or container. Ease off on the supplemental water after the first year.
Prune the mounds back evenly in the very early spring, before you see new growth emerging. All plants appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch around their roots. Other than that, no special care is required for these low-growing perennials! For indoor plants, trim off leggy growth or pinch back to create branching and fullness, and remove dead foliage and broken stems as needed.
- Full Sun
- Very Well-Drained Soils
- Moderate to Low Moisture
- Trim Back In Early Spring (As Needed Indoors)
- Very Low-Maintenance & Drought-Tolerant
