Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Place this Sedum in a location that receives full sun, enjoying at least 6 hours of direct light each day. Without enough sun, the plant will lose its tight, dome-like shape and become loose and floppy.
Soil: Excellent drainage is non-negotiable for this succulent-like perennial, which thrives in sandy or rocky soils. If you have heavy clay soil, it is best to plant it in a raised bed or amend the ground significantly with grit to prevent the roots from rotting in standing moisture.

Watering Requirements

Water moderately during the first growing season to help the plant establish, checking that the soil dries out completely between waterings. Once established, 'Pure Joy' is extremely drought-tolerant and stores water in its leaves; avoid overwatering, as this can cause stems to rot or flop open.

Pruning Tips

This variety is known for its tidy habit, but you should cut the dried stems back to the ground in early spring before new growth appears. Leaving the flower heads up during winter adds interest to the landscape, but removing them in spring ensures the new mound starts fresh and compact.

Fertilizer Needs

Sedums are light feeders and actually perform better in poor soil than rich soil. If needed, apply a light sprinkling of low-nitrogen organic fertilizer in early spring, but avoid heavy feeding to keep the growth sturdy and upright.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

Fluffy domes of baby pink blooms bring joy to the garden! Adorable bundles of pastel hues, the Proven Winners® Rock 'N Round™ has introduced the Pure Joy Sedum (Sedum x 'Pure Joy') that features baby soft, fluffy texture and subtle color!

Like all Stonecrop, Sedum has succulent, waxy foliage and Pure Joy forms low-growing even domes of color from spring until autumn! Dense and evenly distributed mounds are completely smothered in fluffy blooms and subsequently hungry pollinators and butterflies too!

Starting a pale green, Pure Joy has blooms that slowly turn a soft dome of bubblegum pink! These blooms are a favorite nectar resource for pollinators! The strong stems mean these blooms stand up to rain and storms and are also amazingly unique cut flowers for your bouquets.

This perennial Sedum has glossy, light-green foliage that is thick and fleshy, growing up to a foot tall and 16-20" wide throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 9. These gorgeous domes add lovely filler and texture when interspersed around your other garden finery. Sturdy growing perennials, Sedum is able to stand up to the full sun without shrinking. Pure Joy's flower heads have equally dense growth and amazing softness and character.

Blooming through summer into early fall, these blooms don't let up color until frost however, that's when the blooms dry on the plant to provide unique winter interest. You can prune these blooms off for a clean winter appearance, and use them as dried flowers. Or even leave the seed heads alone for both winter interest and food for songbirds!

Planting and Application:

Pure Joy creates a tranquil, smooth mound, which means this Sedum creates an incredibly unique border! Define your beds from your lawn, edge garden borders, and line your walkways. Planting in rows or blocks further amplifies the curious growth habit!

Their unusual, subtly colored blooms add formal structure, as well as work beautifully in Zen and Asian-inspired gardens. Pollinator Gardens and Rock Gardens both benefit from these curious plants' unique shape as they spill and ramble over the stones!

Sedum are incredibly resilient and amazing for Xeriscaping and Firescaping, these are tough and hardy enough for both residential or commercial settings. You can also try a staggered zig-zag to create a mass planting on a slope or a large bare patch. The plants will create a low-maintenance groundcover, and look especially unique when mixed and matched with other Rock 'N™ Sedum varieties like Coraljade or Back in Black!

Any sunny bed and Cottage garden will become more delightful with Sedum. Pure Joy's sturdy stems can also be used as cut flowers and dried décor. The soft pink blooms mingle with your perennial plants and are an amazing filler and spiller addition to containers!

Growing in defiance of the sun without wilting, drought-tolerant Pure Joy fills your sunny beds with tranquil color all growing season. Plant en masse to fill hot sunny locations, shrugging off rocky, gravel-filled spots, while the structural and architectural texture makes these eye-catching plants really stand out!

The attractive foliage is drought and salt-tolerant so plant these in that 'hell strip' along the road, and those in coastal areas can enjoy Sedum near ocean spray without worry. Easy to grow, they are perfect for gardeners of all experience levels!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Full sun plants like Pure Joy Sedum, tolerate heat and sun all summer without fail. Handling some part sun in hotter climates. Not particular about soil type, Sedum prefers average moisture and any kind of well-drained soil, and can also tolerate poor or rocky soils with ease. In fact, Sedum grown in organically rich soil are actually lanky and weak-stemmed. These adaptable, hardy perennials bloom from late summer through autumn.

All perennial Sedum hybrids have very low moisture needs and are extremely cold hardy in growing zones 3 through 9. You can add a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch to the base to help keep moisture more regulated and enrich the soil. These deer and rabbit-resistant plants require very little maintenance and little fertilizer. Pest and disease-free, Sedum benefits from division every few years and trimming all stems to the ground each spring removing dead debris.
