Brilliant Stonecrop: Sedum spectabile - 1GAL Pot
Sedum spectabile 'Brilliant' is a popular perennial with fleshy, succulent leaves and dense clusters of bright pink flowers.
Caring for stonecrop, also known as Sedum, involves providing it with the right growing conditions and regular maintenance. Stonecrop plants are typically drought-tolerant and prefer full sun, although they can tolerate partial shade. Plant them in well-draining soil with good airflow to prevent root rot. Water the plants sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, as overwatering can cause the roots to rot. Stonecrop plants are generally low-maintenance and do not require regular fertilization. However, a light application of a balanced fertilizer in the spring can promote healthy growth. Prune the plants in early spring to remove dead or damaged foliage and encourage bushier growth. Stonecrop is generally resistant to pests and diseases. With proper care, your stonecrop will thrive, showcasing its colorful and drought-tolerant foliage while adding texture and beauty to your garden or landscape.
