Follow the Yellow Brick Road for an easy-care, drought-tolerant, colorful ground-cover for tough situations. With starry yellow flowers that bloom when much of the garden is winding down, this little sedum has evergreen leaves and red stems hold interest the rest of the year. The flowers are a late-season nectar source for bees and butterflies too, who animate the garden with their flight. Luckily for us, rabbits are uninterested in the sweet flowers and stalwart leaves.
Yellow Brick Road tops off at only eight inches high, making a compact winner for any sunny spot, from container to border. Since it can spread about 24 inches, it would excel draping from a patio urn, or anchoring a slope or rock garden.
Rock 'N Low Yellow Brick Road Stonecrop Sedum Care
A sedum hybrid, Yellow Brick Road asks for really two things: full sun, and the best drainage. In a planter, drainage holes are a must, and it would be best not to use any soil with “moisture-retaining crystals”. Raised beds are a great option if the native soil is overly wet, or composed of mainly clay. Sedums and succulents are drought-tolerant, but all plants need moisture to get their roots established in their new home, so consistent watering is key for the first year especially.
Yellow Brick Road needs little in the way of fertilizer. If the soil is very poor, compost or soil condition would be a nice addition as a top-dressing in spring.
Rock 'N Low Yellow Brick Road Stonecrop Sedum Spacing
Two feet would be a generous spacing for a groundcover of Yellow Brick Road; in a container, you could go closer.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
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. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
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). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

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.
