Lemon Coral^® Sedum mexicanum

Im in zone 7B and mine has come back year after the year. It never dies back completely for me..it wlll get a rediish color in winter and be weak looking but it just revives as soon as temps just start to warm up...so far its been a tender perennial Id say for me.

I bought this plant a month ago at my local big box store. So far, I am loving it. I planted it by itself in a terra cotta pot. It looks terrific! The color of the leaves stands out against the terra cotta. I also like the fact that it can stay outside in my area and provide some year round color.

I have purchased several of these sedum since last fall and love them. However, they are now looking dead (where there were blooms). Underneath is still bright green. I don’t know if I should prune the tops or leave them alone. All the information says they don’t need trimming, but they’re not looking good as they are. Does anybody know what I should do? I’m in zone 8b, and they are planted in a west-facing bed that gets lots of sun.

I purchased this plant last year and planted it throughout my garden in the ground, in hanging plants, and containers. I planted it in full sun, part sun, and full shade. It did amazing in all areas. I did notice that in the shade the plant took on a deeper green color (picture grass green). This plant is easy to care for, easy to divide, and all of mine wintered in the ground or in their containers all winter and lived and stayed green with no maintenance or winter watering from me. It thrived in the heat and humidity of Southern summers. It looks amazing with any pop of color but is especially beautiful with the purple verbena. This spring it bloomed with tiny little yellow flowers all over it, it didn't bloom last year. I would use this plant again in any area of my yard, containers, and hanging plants again. My new favorite plant!

Love this plant. Bought one 4 inch pot 2 years ago. Ripped the poor thing into 6 pieces and planted each piece in the pockets of my terra cotta strawberry pot. Initially those 6 sections looked sad but after 2 weeks in sun those babies perked right up and each grew into grapefruit sized balls that draped over the pockets. Looked great all summer. (Had a superbell on top of pot). Pulled all the pieces out in late fall and overwintered inside under grow light. Looked less than perfect by end of winter.but in spring I again pulled into 6 pieces and shoved then into pot pockets.. another steller year. Love this plant. Easy care. Just water and enjoy.
