Plant Features

Dragon's Blood Sedum is a low-growing succulent that offers a spectacle of color as the foliage turns from a crimson edged green to a vibrant orangey-red. It will "wow" all the neighbors. Produces brilliant pinkish-red flowers. Easy to grow and tolerates poor soil, heat, and drought. Sedum plants are wonderful for attracting late season butterflies and bees. It is also a host plant for the Phoebus Parnassian butterfly.

Our Sedum Plants are grown with care and are completely free from harmful pesticides, making them a safe and hardy addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!

Planting Instructions:

  • - Best planted in spring or fall for optimal root establishment
  • - Space plants 12-24 inches apart, depending on variety, to allow for mature growth

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.5
  • - Prefers well-drained soil, tolerates poor or sandy soils

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water deeply when first planted, allowing the soil to dry between waterings
  • - Once established, Sedum is highly drought-tolerant and thrives with minimal watering

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Sedum typically thrives without fertilizer, but a light, balanced fertilizer in early spring can support growth
  • - Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to weak, leggy growth

Pruning and Training:

  • - Deadhead spent blooms to maintain appearance, though Sedum heads often provide winter interest
  • - Cut back stems in early spring before new growth emerges to maintain a tidy form

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Sedum is generally pest-free and deer-resistant, though aphids may occasionally be an issue
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent any potential fungal issues

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms from late summer through fall with clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers in shades of pink, red, or yellow

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, tolerates heat and cold once established

Companion Plants for Sedum:

  • - Echinacea: Complements Sedum with its bright, daisy-like blooms and similar drought tolerance
  • - Coreopsis: Provides a continuous display of yellow blooms that contrast beautifully with Sedum’s fleshy leaves
  • - Salvia: Adds vertical spikes of blue or purple to complement Sedum’s low-growing form
  • - Achillea: Complements Sedum with its clusters of long-lasting flowers and pollinator appeal
  • - Lavender: Adds a fragrant, drought-tolerant companion that pairs beautifully with Sedum’s resilient nature

Stone crop Joy

I actually bought these for a spot my hubby wanted to fill in, but he ended up buying juniper before I received my order. No problem!!! I always have a spot for plants, and put them near a cool stump. It's going to look so cool once these fill in.

Successful Succulents

We ordered 4 sedum plants last spring to replace some plants from another store that had not survived the previous winter. All 4 arrived in great condition in sturdy packaging. Despite some creature gnawing on one of them last summer, all survived the winter and have at least tripled in size!
