Featuring variegated, succulent leaves etched in beige, Frosted Fire Stonecrop Sedum provides interest to landscapes and containers year-round. Showy, dense clusters of pale yellow-green florets bloom rosy-pink in summer and fall. Also known as Sedum Autumn Charm™ 'Frosted Fire', Hylotelephium spectabile 'Frosted Fire', and syn. Sedum spectabile, this perennial grows to a maximum height of 12 to 15 inches and spread of 15 to 18 inches. Assembled in bouquets, this superb cut-flower’s beauty can be appreciated indoors. Frosted Fire also makes a great selection for dried-flower arrangements to extend its indoor interest.
Frosted Fire Stonecrop Sedum’s rosy blooms attract plenty of pollinators including butterflies and bees. Tolerating nutrient-deficient soils and drought, this upright, mound-forming, perennial is versatile. Disease, deer, and rabbit resistant, too, this selection faces minimal threats. Native to Asia, its low-maintenance regimen makes it a wonderful choice for busy people wanting to enhance borders, beds, and containers year round with showy flowers and foliage.
Frosted Fire Stonecrop Sedum Care
Plant Frosted Fire Stonecrop Sedum in the spring. Choose a location getting at least 6 hours of direct sun with dry, loose, well-draining soil. To avert fungal disease, this succulent should never rest in standing water. If needed, amend the soil with compost or sand to increase its ability to drain well. Frosted Fire Stonecrop Sedum is not particular about soil pH. This perennial needs weekly watering until established. Afterward, it can be left alone unless the weather is dry and hot for an extended period. Tolerating nutrient-deficient soil, this showy perennial rarely needs fertilizing.
Other than trimming dead, diseased, and/or damaged stems and foliage during the growing season, Frosted Fire Stonecrop Sedum does not require much pruning. How you choose to prepare this plant for overwintering depends on whether you want it to continue providing interest during the winter months or you want a neater landscape. If you prefer your yard to be tidier, then cut this perennial back to a few inches above the soil after the first heavy frost. If you want this succulent to be a source of food for birds, however, leave it alone until early spring when you can cut it back to prepare for new growth.
Frosted Fire Stonecrop Sedum Spacing
Whether grown as a thriller in a container or en masse in a border or bed, Frosted Fire Stonecrop Sedum provides color, texture, and dimension. If grouping this long-blooming showstopper, space plants at least 15 inches apart. Add companion plants such as asters, black-eyed susan, and Russian sage to create nice cut-flower gardens.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
