annual sedum

This enormous Sedum family includes the non-winter hardy varieties that can be grown outdoors in the summer and indoors as houseplants over the winter. For example, Burrow’s Tail is a trailing annual Sedum that is grown in hanging baskets with icy, blue-green stems covered in whorls of thick, blue-green leaves. Another popular annual Sedum is the low mounded groundcover, Lemon Coral®. Its mossy, chartreuse green foliage combines well with almost all annuals as a “filler/spiller” in the sun or part shade, in containers or garden beds.

Grow in sunny areas, well-drained, amended soil or containers. Feed with a slow release fertilizer, Osmocote® or Plant-tone®. Follow label instructions. Trim as needed to maintain a tidy habit. Mulch 2″ to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature.
