With its sumptuous, deep-purple foliage, the Night Embers Stonecrop Sedum is a spectacular perennial. If its leaves weren’t enough, this stonecrop displays show-stopping clusters of pink, star-shaped flowers in late summer and early fall. Unlike some other sedums, Night Embers develops strong, sturdy, upright stems, which are less likely to flop over during the season. Being rabbit resistant, this plant is ideal for rural gardens and is loved by pollinators when in bloom.
This stonecrop loves a hot and sunny spot and is considered low maintenance and drought tolerant once it has settled in. The Night Embers Stonecrop Sedum provides great impact when grown en masse in a border, but is equally good for growing in a rock or gravel garden. As a tough perennial, it can be grown in zones 3 through 9. This succulent is also suitable for growing in a large container.
Night Embers Stonecrop Sedum Care
For this sun-loving sedum to really thrive, it needs to be grown in full sun and on a well-drained soil. It can tolerate poor soils and rarely needs fertilizing unless it is grown in the most meager of substrates. Once established, Night Embers can cope with little moisture; however, it will need to be watered regularly for the first growing season at least. Once in situ, little ongoing care is required, almost to the point where it thrives on neglect.
In late fall, the spent flower heads can either be removed or left to provide some winter interest and food for the birds. In early spring, any faded and tatty foliage can be cut to the ground and removed to make way for new growth. Night Embers can be divided in spring every 2 to 3 years.
Night Embers Stonecrop Sedum Spacing
When fully grown, the Night Embers Stonecrop Sedum can reach 24-26 inches high and wide. A spacing of 24-30 inches between plants is recommended when planting out in groups.

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.

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.
