Summary

Sedum SunSparkler® 'Plum Dazzled'most commonly known as Sedum 'Plum Dazzled', and sometimes referred to as Plum Dazzled Stonecrop—is a low-growing perennial succulent commonly used as a groundcover, in rock beds, in planter boxes, and often as a houseplant. Its sprawling growth habits and unique changing colors are well suited for a variety of locations.! 

The leaves and stems are often a combination of both mint green and deep shades of purple colors. High summer temperatures and full sun exposure promote deep purple hues, while shade and cooler temperatures encourage green hues. Foliage may also turn a deep purple color over winter in warmer zones. 

Produces tiny, star-shaped bright magenta flowers in the summer. 

Foliage is considered semi-evergreen. It will remain green or shades of purple throughout the winter in warmer zones, and brown over the winter in colder zones. 

It's a fast spreading plant, which makes it great as a ground cover. If spreading is not desired, we suggest planting your Plum Dazzled Sedum in a planter box or hanging basket. 

Although Sedum is considered fast-spreading and will take over sections of your garden, it is not considered to be invasive. This is due to the fact that it is extremely shallow rooted and may be easily removed if desired. 

Sedum is becoming increasingly popular as a houseplant due to its ease of care and its air purification abilities. 

Rabbit, salt, and drought tolerant. 

Care

Sedum Plum Dazzled Care

Sedum Plum Dazzled (Plum Dazzled Stonecrop) is very easy to care for and does not require lots of attention or maintenance. Some would argue that it does best with neglect.  

Fertilizations will accelerate growth and keep your plant well fed. We suggest using our slow release fertilizer, or something similar.

Sedum often does best when grown in full sun, although partially shaded areas are often just fine. Too little sun will cause negative growth issues. 

Water regularly after planting until established, or in periods of drought. Do not overwater! Its ideal soil is semi-dry to semi-moist, rich, and well draining. Sandy and gravel filled soils are also a favorite of Sedum Plum Dazzled. Avoid planting in areas that are known to hold water or flood. 

If grown as a houseplant, it's suggested to place your Plum Dazzled Sedum in a cold environment (in a cold garage or outside in the winter in zones 4-9) for at least a month out of the year to allow it time for vernalization. Sedum continuously grown in warm (indoor) environments for too long will not grow as nicely and may falter and potentially die after about 12-18 months.
