Here is one of those annual foliage plants that gardeners can’t do without. Lemon Coral Sedum is a bright green foliar with a mounding, spilling habit that makes it the perfect complement to a container, garden borders and landscaping. Planted as the foundation of your large containers, it will spill over the edge attractively and the chartreuse green spiky looking stems and needles will contrast beautifully with intense bright colors. Although it looks spiky and rough, it is considered a succulent with soft and silky needles and stems.

The origin of this particular species of sedum is not certain, but most sedums originate in Asia, Zones 7a to 11b. It is one of the first plants that can go out in the spring after the danger of the last frost has passed in Zones 3-6, and if you are lucky, you may be able to see bright yellow flowers in the spring. This plant is primarily grown for its foliage, though. It is heat and drought tolerant.

Lemon Coral Sedum Care

Sedum grows in well drained soil kept moderately moist. Although drought tolerant, this annual will give you the best performance with some light shade and adequate moisture. A once a season fertilization for in ground landscape plants, and a regular feeding regimen for container plantings will keep its foliage lush and green. It prefers a soil pH of 5.8 to 6.2.

Deadheading is not required. Pinching back to reduce the sprawl that happens when planted as the foundation plant in large containers can be done, but why not enjoy the almost 18 inch cascade down the side of the container, or over rocks in a rock garden? Pinching back will create more branching and result in a fuller mounding plant. Cuttings root easily so creating additional plantings of S. mexicanum is easy.

Lemon Coral Sedum Spacing

Growing to about 10 inches tall and 14 inches wide, give Lemon Coral about 8 to 12 inches space from other plants. This will allow S. mexicanum to spread out and create that filler foliage interest you want, and help to reduce any plant diseases. Lemon Coral is not typically bothered by many destructive insects. Bees and moths are attracted to its early spring flowers. Pair with pelargonium, verbena, portulaca, mandevilla, salvia and other annuals for spring to fall color show.

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

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. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Guarantee and Warranty

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.
