Description
Exceptionally easy to grow and drought tolerant, Lemon Ball Sedum is a great garden and container plant with screaming chartreuse yellow foliage. Though it looks like Sedum ‘Angelina’, Lemon Ball is brighter yellow and more heat tolerant. The soft and rubbery golden spruce-like foliage makes for a great textural and color contrast when mixed with other succulents and any other plants that prefer life on the sunny and dry side. Bright yellow flowers top the foliage in spring but they tend to blend with the foliage. At right around 6 inches tall and 3 feet wide, this is a shining sensation in rock gardens and containers.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 4 to 6 inches tall and spreading 24 inches or more wide, the Lemon Ball Sedum is ideal for use as a groundcover plant or in borders along walkways and paths or around patios. Very nice around rocks and boulders or spilling over walls. Also serves nicely as a soil cover and spiller plant in container gardens. A fine addition to rock gardens, succulent gardens and yellow theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 18-24 inches apart for mass planting
