Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Sedum carnicolor features open rosettes of plump, pointed, powdery finger leaves with opalescent, blue green to rosy purple tones that flush to peach in sun. As with most succulents, the leaf color is most pronounced when the plant is under environmental stress. Major stress factors include prolonged sun exposure and cooler temperatures. Displays small, white, star-shaped flowers in summer. This is a small, slow-growing, low maintenance plant. Provide a well-drained soil away from reflected heat. Once established, water infrequently during the hot season. Ideal in warm climate landscapes and container gardens. Sedum carnicolor is especially happy sitting on your windowsill as a houseplant.
