Lidakense Sedum Plant

Lidakense Sedum Plants produce round, greenish-blue foliage, tinged with reddish-purple. Bright pink flowers complement the foliage in late summer, flowering later than many other cultivars. Plants require very sharp drainage for best performance. This lovely clump-forming, trailing sedum is perfect for a rock garden or a hot, dry area. 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
