SunSparkler® Dazzling Dynamite Sedum
A fiery groundcover, SunSparkler® Dazzling Dynamite Sedum (Sedum 'Dazzling Dynamite') is a bold, eye-catching groundcover that lives up to its explosive name with deep burgundy-red foliage and clusters of bright pink flowers.
This drought-tolerant, pollinator-attracting Stonecrop variety is a standout in any sunny garden, thriving in tough conditions while putting on a dazzling show from late summer to early fall. Its compact, spreading habit makes it ideal as a groundcover.
This perennial forms a low-growing, spreading mat of succulent, fleshy leaves that emerge deep red in spring and hold their rich color throughout the growing season. As summer transitions to autumn, the plant is crowned with domes of nectar-rich pink blossoms, attracting butterflies and bees in droves.
Unlike some Sedums that fade in the summer heat, SunSparkler® Dazzling Dynamite keeps its vibrant foliage color all season long, making it an excellent choice for warm climates.
