Neon Sedum Plant

Neon Sedum Plants produce unique, neon pink flowers that appear in summer. The bloom color is a brighter, more rosy-pink shade than Autumn Joy or Brilliant although the same type of large flower heads are produced. Leave the spent flower heads uncut, as they add interest to the winter perennial garden. It is also a host plant for the Phoebus Parnassian butterfly. Plant in well-drained soil of average to low fertility.

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
