Lemon Coral Sedum

Sedum mexicanum ‘Lemon Coral’ is an annual stonecrop grown chiefly for its bright chartreuse, needle-like foliage and mounding, trailing habit. Proven Winners lists it for sun to part shade, with USDA zones 7a–11b, and describes it as heat and drought tolerant and deer resistant. The [Proven Winners plant profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/p/8886) gives a mature size range of 3–10 inches tall by 10–14 inches wide and notes that flowering is occasional rather than the main reason to grow it. Use this cultivar as a container filler, edging, or low groundcover, where its stems can spill over a rim or spread along the soil. Its chartreuse foliage provides the main seasonal effect, so flower color and regular bloom should not be expected. ##Maintenance Plant in well-drained soil and water while establishing. Allow the surface to dry between watering; trim trailing stems if needed to maintain the desired outline.
