Lemon Coral^® Sedum mexicanum

I have purchased several of these sedum since last fall and love them. However, they are now looking dead (where there were blooms). Underneath is still bright green. I don’t know if I should prune the tops or leave them alone. All the information says they don’t need trimming, but they’re not looking good as they are. Does anybody know what I should do? I’m in zone 8b, and they are planted in a west-facing bed that gets lots of sun.

I purchased this plant last year and planted it throughout my garden in the ground, in hanging plants, and containers. I planted it in full sun, part sun, and full shade. It did amazing in all areas. I did notice that in the shade the plant took on a deeper green color (picture grass green). This plant is easy to care for, easy to divide, and all of mine wintered in the ground or in their containers all winter and lived and stayed green with no maintenance or winter watering from me. It thrived in the heat and humidity of Southern summers. It looks amazing with any pop of color but is especially beautiful with the purple verbena. This spring it bloomed with tiny little yellow flowers all over it, it didn't bloom last year. I would use this plant again in any area of my yard, containers, and hanging plants again. My new favorite plant!

Love this plant. Bought one 4 inch pot 2 years ago. Ripped the poor thing into 6 pieces and planted each piece in the pockets of my terra cotta strawberry pot. Initially those 6 sections looked sad but after 2 weeks in sun those babies perked right up and each grew into grapefruit sized balls that draped over the pockets. Looked great all summer. (Had a superbell on top of pot). Pulled all the pieces out in late fall and overwintered inside under grow light. Looked less than perfect by end of winter.but in spring I again pulled into 6 pieces and shoved then into pot pockets.. another steller year. Love this plant. Easy care. Just water and enjoy.

This is my first year growing this plant. I bought 11 plants. Planted 3 in ground in a West facing area next to a brick wall and a sidewalk surrounding my pool. This area gets 8 hours direct sun. They have performed wonderfully. Planted 3 in-ground, in a West face area that only gets 3 hours of late afternoon sun. They performed perfectly. Planted 2 in 2 pots that get all day direct sun. These pots contain an evergreen, pacopa and verbena. They did a great job. Planted 3 in ground facing North that gets morning and early afternoon sun. All have performed petter than I expected. Zone 7a Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Love this sedum! It’s a great preformer in my pots and I love the color. Some of it gets that little orange tip. Looks great spilling out of my containers. The birds have pulled parts of it out and it will root-in without any help! I’m hoping it survive my winter in zone 7-6.
