Plant Profile: Sedum SunSparkler® Series

The "Sunsparkler" series of stonecrop consists of a collection of low-maintenance, drought-resistant groundcovers that thrive in a variety of leaf shapes and display an array of pink flowers. These plants are primarily valued for their vibrant, fleshy foliage and eye-catching blooms that appear from late summer to early fall. Their flowers are particularly appealing to butterflies and other pollinators.

For optimal growth, plant them in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. Once they are established, these groundcovers require minimal care and are highly drought-tolerant. They are ideal for use in rock gardens, cascading over stone walls, or in hanging baskets. They create a stunning visual when grouped together or used as a border along walkways or patios. They pair beautifully with other sun-loving perennials such as lavender, coneflower, sage, catmint, and ornamental grasses. Additionally, these plants are resistant to damage from deer and rabbits and can withstand drought, air pollution, and dry, rocky soils.

In terms of pests and diseases, this plant faces no significant issues.
