Highlights
Sedum 'Vanessa': A blue-green, stemmed variety that features a thin coat of farina. This powdery wax gives the whole plant a pastel look and helps it tolerate full sun. Look for orange flowers in the spring and summer months. It has some similarity to Sedum morganianum, which is probably one of the parents of this hybrid.
Soft Sedum need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and full leaf coverage. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.
Like most succulents, soft 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. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for more information.
