  •   Sedum album 'Black Pearl' is a frost hardy succulent from the Crassulaceae family, native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. It colonizes rocky slopes, walls, and well-drained soils where most plants struggle, earning a devoted following for its exceptional toughness and dark foliage.

      The plant produces tiny, plump, cylindrical leaves in deep purple-black to near-ebony color that intensifies with sun exposure and stress. It grows in a clumping, clustering habit that spreads into a dense creeping succulent mat over time, with compact rosette-like clusters and bright stems that contrast sharply against the near-black foliage.

      Summer brings small white to pale pink star-shaped flowers that hover above the dark foliage on slender stems. The blooms attract pollinators and do produce pollen, so allergy-sensitive growers should keep that in mind. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It can remain outdoors into autumn and is safe around cats and dogs. Rock gardens, green roofs, borders, and outdoor containers all suit it well. It propagates easily from stem cuttings or by separating offsets from the main cluster, with cut ends callusing within a day or two before planting in dry soil.

      Sedum album 'Black Pearl' is a frost hardy succulent from the Crassulaceae family, native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. It colonizes rocky slopes, walls, and well-drained soils where most plants struggle, earning a devoted following for its exceptional toughness and dark foliage.

  •   Sedum album 'Black Pearl' grows well in partial sun to full sun, though direct sun deepens the intensity of its near-black leaves.

      Water it every 10-14 days during the growing season, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings, then reduce to once a month or less in winter.

      Sedum 'Black Pearl' does best in a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with coarse perlite or grit to prevent root rot.

      It tolerates temperatures down to around 14°F, making it a cold hardy option for temperate regions.

      Sedum 'Black Pearl' is a moderate grower that spreads steadily into a mat and needs only a light, diluted balanced fertilizer once in spring.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 4-9, surviving frost down to around 14°F with ease. It grows outdoors across the Pacific Northwest, Mountain West, Midwest, South, and Northeast, including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
  • Q: Is Sedum album 'Black Pearl' pet friendly?
    A: It is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs.

    Q: Why are the leaves on my plant turning yellow?
    A: Yellow leaves most commonly result from overwatering or poorly draining soil keeping roots too wet. Sedum album 'Black Pearl' needs the soil to dry fully between waterings, and your pot or planting spot must have good drainage holes.

    Q: Can Sedum 'Black Pearl' be grown in full sun outdoors?
    A: Yes, direct outdoor sun deepens the intensity of its dark foliage and works well for rock gardens, borders, and outdoor containers.

    Q: How do I propagate it?
    A: Sedum 'Black Pearl' propagates easily from stem cuttings or by gently separating offsets from the main cluster, then allowing cut ends to callus for a day or two before placing them in dry, well-draining soil.

    Q: Is Sedum 'Black Pearl' frost hardy?
    A: It tolerates temperatures down to around 14°F and can remain outdoors in autumn and winter in USDA zones 4-9.

    Q: What window direction works best for indoor growth?
    A: A south or west-facing window provides the strongest direct light indoors. If the leaves fade or turn greenish, move Sedum 'Black Pearl' closer to the window or into brighter light.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
