Product Details

Highlights

Sedum confusum (Hemsley): A branching stemmed grower with glossy, yellow-green leaves from the Sierra Nevada mountains that is semi-hardy. In the wild it grows as a bushy subshrub up to 2.0' tall but in the garden it makes a colorful ground cover or "spiller" from containers. This variety will not tolerate being walked on but it is perfect for waterwise or fire-resistant landscaping. They produce open, yellow flowers each year and can get a pink tinge at their leaf edges when grown in full sun.

Sedum need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and full leaf coverage. They can grow outdoors as a ground cover or inside on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.

Like most succulents, Sedum need great drainage and deep, infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

Soft Sedum can be propagated from stem cuttings or mature leaves. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for more information.

It could, but I don't think the temperature will be the issue. I think it'll be the humidity that's the problem. That certainly won't make growing this plant impossible, but I believe there are better options.

Kalanchoe, for instance, tend to handle humidity better than Sedum. I'll post a link to our available Kalanchoe plants below!

You're going to want the succulent types in this Frost Hardy Ground Cover category. All these types of Sedum, Delosperma, Rosularia, and more are super easy spreaders that thrive with cold winters and hot, dry summers. Use the "Grow Zone (Hardiness)" filter on the left of that category page to see only types that are hardy in your climate. To check what grow zone you're in, enter your zip code into this USDA Hardiness Tool.

You can also browse all of our Bulk Trays of Frost Hardy Succulents here. Sedum Trays tend to be available in the spring.

Shop Succulent Soil Here

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.

Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.

Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.

Example: Miracle-Gro Quick Start, diluted to half strength

Succulents need deep, infrequent watering, especially during their growing season and when they are young and establishing roots. Only water after the soil is completely dry and the plant feels less firm. Err on the side of underwatering. Watering too frequently is the most common way to kill succulents.

HOW TO WATER SUCCULENTS

  • Drench from above using a faucet, hose, or watering can
  • Do not mist with a spray bottle (the only exception is for Air Plants)
  • Water until it drains from the container's drainage hole. If your container does not have a drainage hole (not recommended), use about 1/3 the volume of the container…

Different succulent varieties have different light needs. You can find the Recommended Light Conditions on each variety's page by scrolling down to the Product Details. We use four categories of recommended light, and some plants can thrive under a range of light conditions.

LOW INDOOR LIGHT

  • Can grow indoors without direct sun.
  • Placing outdoors in direct sun or on sunny window sills might cause dark burns.
  • There are a limited number of succulent varieties that thrive in low light, notably Haworthia, Gasteria, Peperomia, and some Jade…

Many succulent varieties are only available seasonally because of their growing and propagation cycles. During the growing season, we can usually restock sets and trays weekly. Most individual plants will go in and out of stock through the seasons, but they are also restocked weekly when available. Thursday is usually the best day of the week for finding plants in stock. Spring and Summer are generally the best seasons for availability.

Any product that is out of stock has an "Email me when a product is back in stock" button (shown above). Click the button and enter your email to be notified when it's available again. If this button isn't appearing, the plant may have very recently sold out - check back after a short while and the button should appear.

I have a lot of succulent rescues and some I notice have issues going on that I have not identified yet. Some look like spider mites and meli bugs. I was just wondering if there was an overall spray I can use that would be safe for indoors. See more »

35%-70% isopropyl alcohol works well for killing both mealybugs and spider mites. Spray the affected plant thoroughly, and keep spraying daily until you see no more evidence of pests. General pest prevention strategies include:
