Looking for a veritable butterfly magnet for your garden? If the answer is yes, look no further than Strawberry Milkshake Sedum! This plant has gorgeous pink flowers, which contrast succulent-like leaves in dark bronzy green. The flowers start as dark pink and transition to a lighter pink as they open. The upright, mounded habit will become covered in a dome of pink flowers that attract countless butterflies in late summer and fall.
This easy-to-grow stonecrop is perennial from zone 3 - 9. Strawberry Milkshake Sedum is drought tolerant and great for xeriscapes and rock gardens. Strawberry Milkshake Sedum is deer and disease resistant. Along with rock gardens and xeriscapes, this semi-evergreen plant is a great fit for containers, borders, and mass plantings.
Strawberry Milkshake Sedum Care
Strawberry Milkshake Sedum prefers to grow in full sun, in well-drained soil. This plant is drought tolerant and likes drier conditions, so its water needs are on the low side. Water when the top layer of soil is completely dry. Strawberry Milkshake Sedum prefers soil on the acidic side and does not require fertilizer.
Strawberry Milkshake Sedum is a low-maintenance plant that does not require pruning or deadheading once flowering begins. If you’d like to keep a tighter habit, you can cut the plant down by half in May or June to keep the plant from getting leggy. Make clean, diagonal cuts to adjust the habit and delay the bloom time. Spent sedum flowers can be left over winter for interest, or the plant can be cut to the ground. In early spring, cut back any remaining foliage to prepare for new growth. Sedums are easy to split and transplant at any point during the growing season.
Strawberry Milkshake Sedum Spacing
Strawberry Milkshake Sedum can reach 20 - 24 inches high with a spread of 30 - 36 inches. Space plants 30 - 36 inches apart for mass planting.

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.
