Sedum mexicanum (Sedum)
Color Name: Yellow Bouquet
The spikey chartreuse foliage looks like it would be tough and prickly, but is actually quite soft. It is wonderful in landscapes and is an outstanding container plant, where it will fall over the edge of containers. It loves heat and can tolerate dry soils, although average moisture will keep it looking fresh. Yellow Bouquet is grown for its lovely foliage, although if you are lucky it may bloom as well.
Growing Tips: This easy-care annual can take the heat and drought like a champ. It is grown for foliage and is a garden workhorse. A tough as nails filler for hanging baskets, troughs, combination containers and landscapes, this beautifully textured succulent is very vigorous and drought tolerant. Its lime green to chartreuse foliage pairs well with other vigorous sun loving varieties.
When planting in containers, hanging baskets and window boxes, we recommend using our potting soil which is specially formulated for our plants. An application of a time release fertilizer at the time of planting will help to ensure the best possible performance. Zehr's Osmocote blend is perfect for the job. We also suggest fertilizing every two weeks during the hot summer months of June, July and August with Maxsea, which you can purchase at Zehr's. Begonias, Impatiens and most plants grown for foliage normally do not need as much fertilizer.
