Plant Information
Lemon Coral®
Sedum
The spikey chartreuse foliage looks like it would be tough and prickly, but Lemon Coral sedum is actually quite soft and "petable." This sedum mexicanum, is wonderful in landscapes and is an outstanding container plant, where it will fall over the edge of containers. It loves heat and can tolerate dry soils, although average moisture will keep it looking fresh. Lemon Coral sedum is grown for its lovely foliage, although if you are lucky it may bloom as well.
