#ProPlantTips for Care:
Be sure to plant perennial Sedum in full sun for the best color and strongest stems. Plant these water-wise plants in very well-drained soil for the best healthy growth possible, since soggy conditions are a death sentence. Water just enough to maintain moderate moisture around the roots of new plants, and for best health, provide supplemental moisture during extended drought. Sedum also appreciates a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch chips around the root zone, an early spring pruning, and crown division every 3-5 years for best vigor.
- Best Color in Full Sun
- Thrives in Almost Any Well-Drained Soil Type
- Low Moisture Needs & Drought Tolerant Once Established
- Prune Down Early Spring
- Deer & Rabbit Resistant
Also known as Stonecrop, these smoldering and magical, upright herbaceous flowering perennials will enchant you! Order your very own enchanting Night Embers Sedum today at Nature Hills Nursery before it's too late!
