  • Description

  • Notes

Sedums are perennials, but not all sedums are cold hardy. 'Coppertone' is a very fun sedum, with yellow-green to orange, succulent foliage. It grows about 3 to 6 inches tall and might spread 8 to 10 inches. The bad news is that it is only hardy to about 28 degrees. So, treat it like an annual, or bring it inside for the winter; either way, its worth the effort. Can you picture this in a pot with purple fountain grass?
