Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Known for its compact habit and generous flowering, Brilliant Sedum is a garden star. Clusters of star-shaped flowers emerge in early to mid summer, and are whitish green. As fall approaches, flowers turn hot pink. Succulent leaves are a pale green and emerge in late winter. Tough and easy to grow, it loves a hot sunny location. Attractive to butterflies and bees, it is sure to please for many years to come.
