Conga Line Stonecrop Sedum is a hardy member of the succulent family that puts on a colorful display. Also known as Sedum telephium, this plant has thick foliage that grows evenly along red stems. The foliage transitions from green to purple before eventually turning burgundy by the end of the season. Flowers bloom at the end of the summer in hues of peach, coral, and cream.
Sedum is an herbaceous perennial, pushing out new growth each growing season. Feature this plant in beds, borders, or mass plantings. This plant is a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 9. Sedum stores water in its thick foliage, making this plant drought tolerant. New plants require some attention to help them acclimate, but established plants need very little attention to thrive.
Conga Line Stonecrop Sedum Care
Plant Conga Line Stonecrop Sedum in full sun in well-drained soil. Sedum is drought tolerant and needs minimal water to get by. The Conga Line Stonecrop Sedum can handle low-quality, rocky soil but planting in fertile soil will support faster growth. This plant does not need to be fertilized; however, you can apply a dose of balanced fertilizer annually in the spring to start the growing season strong.
Sedum thrives with a certain degree of neglect, so this plant does not need much attention. Remove damaged growth at the end of the growing season, and new growth will emerge in the spring. Remove faded blooms at the end of the growing season to maintain a tidy appearance.
Conga Line Stonecrop Sedum Spacing
Conga Line Stonecrop Sedum has an upright growth habit and a compact form. This plant will reach 18 to 20 inches tall and 14 to 16 inches wide. Sedum will spread with time, so space plants about 12 inches apart.
