With its cluster of bright yellow flowers, the Rock 'N Round® Bright Idea Sedum is an excellent choice for a sunny or dry spot. This tough and heat-tolerant sedum develops serrated green leaves on red stems in spring before coming into bloom in late summer. Growing to no more than a foot high, it is ideal for filling smaller spaces at the front of a border. This is a low-maintenance perennial that once established needs little coddling.
The Rock 'N Round® Bright Idea Sedum forms a neat and rounded habit that is a mass of yellow flowers come August. Being drought, salt and heat tolerant, this sedum is incredibly versatile and tough. This sedum works well growing in a group, lining a pathway, or adorning a container. With good resistance against rabbits, it is suitable for rural locations.
Rock 'N Round® Bright Idea Sedum Care
To get the best from Rock 'N Round® Bright Idea Sedum, it needs to be grown where it will receive at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. As with all sedums, it prefers poor to average free-draining soil and tends to flop or fall over if given too much moisture or nutrition. Since it does not require much in the way of nutrition, any extra fertilization is not necessary. Water upon planting and during the first season until it is established.
Once it has bloomed, the foliage and seedheads can be left to overwinter on the plant to provide some winter interest and sustenance for the birds. In spring, the stems can be cut back to soil level to make way for new growth.
Rock 'N Round® Bright Idea Sedum Spacing
The Rock 'N Round® Bright Idea Sedum remains compact at a final size of 10-12 inches high by 16-20 inches wide. Plants can be spaced at a distance of 16 to 20 inches apart when planting out as a group.

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.
