  •   Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' is a compact, cold-hardy succulent from the Crassulaceae family, bred from Sedum species native to rocky, well-drained habitats across the Northern Hemisphere. This perennial forms tight clumping mounds and thrives as a drought-tolerant ground cover for gardeners and collectors seeking a plant that performs season after season.

      The foliage consists of small, fleshy leaves in burgundy-red that deepen further in cooler temperatures, with a plump, bead-like texture. It maintains its saturated color throughout the growing season without fading, serving as a focal point in rock gardens and container plantings year-round.

      Late summer into early autumn brings clusters of small, star-shaped pink to rose-red flowers that attract pollinators. The blooms do produce pollen, so those with seasonal allergies may want to position it away from frequent gathering spots.

      Move it outside in summer. The clumping habit stays tidy without constant pruning, and it is safe for homes with cats and dogs. It handles balcony wind and dry heated air without issue.

  •   Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' grows well in full sun to partial sun, with at least four to six hours of direct light daily for the deepest burgundy-red foliage color.

      Water it deeply but infrequently, roughly every ten to fourteen days in summer and far less in winter, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.

      Sedum 'Firecracker' grows well in gritty, fast-draining mixes such as a cactus and succulent blend combined with coarse perlite or pumice for excellent drainage.

      It tolerates temperatures from around 20°F at its hardiest to well above 90°F, performing across a wide temperature range without stress.

      Sedum 'Firecracker' is a moderate, steady grower that benefits from a light, balanced fertilizer applied once in early spring to support seasonal growth.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9, tolerating frost down to approximately 30°F in its coldest rated zones. It grows outdoors year-round across Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, South Carolina, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
  • Q: Is Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' pet-friendly?
    A: It is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs.

    Q: What window direction or distance from light works best for indoor growth?
    A: Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' in a south or west-facing window within 2-3 feet of the glass receives sufficient brightness; it will scorch if pressed directly against hot glass in peak summer without shade cloth.

    Q: Can Sedum 'Firecracker' survive extended trips without watering?
    A: Yes, it survives a ten-day trip without water thanks to its water-storing leaves.

    Q: How fast does it grow?
    A: Sedum 'Firecracker' expands at a moderate pace, typically adding a few inches per season under standard care.

    Q: Does Sedum 'Firecracker' propagate easily?
    A: It propagates readily from stem cuttings or by dividing the clumping clusters in spring or early summer; allow cuttings to callous for a day or two before placing them in well-draining soil.

    Q: What happens if it is overwatered?
    A: Excess moisture causes root rot and soft, mushy leaves. Reduce watering immediately if the soil stays wet longer than a few days. Sedum 'Firecracker' requires the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent fungal issues.

    🌵 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.
