Sedum is very low maintenance, so much so that this plant pretty much prefers to be left alone. To properly care for the ROCK 'N GROW® 'Back in Black' Sedum, you will have to be very hands-off, but you can still admire the near-black foliage. This stonecrop stands out thanks to the thick, broad leaves that are almost entirely black. The ROCK 'N GROW® 'Back in Black' Sedum will provide visual interest throughout the summer, fall, and winter. Expect cream-colored flowers with red centers in the late summer to early fall.
Sedum is not only forgiving if the conditions are less than ideal, but this plant actually thrives in not-so-great conditions. This upright plant is right at home in borders, landscapes, mass plantings, and containers. The blooms make excellent cut flowers and dried flowers. Sedum is heat-, drought-, and salt-tolerant, and while this plant attracts bees and butterflies, it resists rabbits. The ROCK 'N GROW® 'Back in Black' Sedum grows as a perennial in USDA zones 3 through 9.
Rock N Grow® Back In Black Sedum Care
Plant Sedum in full sun. This easy-care plant needs at least 6 hours of sunlight daily. Soil should be well-draining because Sedum does not like wet feet, but the plant is not fussy about the pH and will be content in acidic, alkaline, or neutral soil. Drought-tolerant Stonecrop seldom needs water. Water the plant during an extended dry spell, but otherwise, established plants are fine without water. Do not fertilize Sedum.
Remove spent flowers or dead growth, but pruning is not generally necessary. Pinch back new growth to create thicker, fuller plants.
Rock N Grow® Back In Black Sedum Spacing
Space plants 26 to 30 inches apart when planting to give the Sedum space to grow. ROCK 'N GROW® 'Back in Black' Sedum is an upright plant that grows 26 to 30 inches tall.
