The plant is an eye-catching red foliage succulent with fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that flush deep burgundy to fiery reddish-purple, intensifying in strong sun. It grows in a low, clumping and clustering habit, spreading wide to form a dense, weed-suppressing mat that stays tidy without staking or pruning. The thick, waxy leaves hold moisture efficiently, giving it the signature succulent texture and drought-ready structure.
Sedum 'Wildfire' produces clusters of bright, star-shaped pink to rosy-red flowers that appear in late summer to early autumn, sitting just above the colorful foliage on short, sturdy stems. The blooms appear annually and attract bees and butterflies. A slight nighttime temperature drop in late summer encourages robust flowering.
The plant is built for balcony containers, rock gardens, border edging, and sloped beds where drainage is sharp and conditions are tough. It handles balcony wind and rain, tolerates dry heated air indoors, and grows well in drafty spots that would stress less resilient plants. Sedum 'Wildfire' is pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. It spreads generously over time, filling gaps and softening hard edges, and can stay outdoors well into autumn and winter.
Sedum Sunsparkler 'Wildfire' does well in partial sun to full direct sun, needing at least 6 hours of bright light daily for the richest foliage color.
Water it deeply but infrequently, roughly every 10-14 days in summer and even less in winter, letting soil dry fully between waterings.
Sedum 'Wildfire' does best in a gritty, fast-draining mix such as cactus and succulent blend combined with coarse perlite or pumice.
It handles temperatures from around 20°F and below, showing strong frost tolerance.
It is hardy in USDA Zones 4-9, tolerating frost down to approximately -30°F at the cold end of its range. It grows outdoors year-round in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Oklahoma. It also performs well in the moderate climates of Georgia, Alabama, Texas, and the Pacific Coast regions of California, where Zone 9 conditions allow year-round outdoor growth with minimal winter protection.
Q: Is Sedum Sunsparkler 'Wildfire' safe for pets?
A: It is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs.
Q: What window placement brings out the deepest burgundy-red foliage?
A: Sedum Sunsparkler 'Wildfire' in south and west-facing windows with at least 6 hours of direct sun will intensify the leaf color most dramatically; north-facing windows may result in more muted tones.
Q: How often should Sedum 'Wildfire' be watered in summer?
A: Every 10-14 days; allow the soil to dry fully between waterings.
Q: How large does this plant get at maturity?
A: Sedum 'Wildfire' typically reaches 4-6 inches tall and spreads 18-24 inches wide, making it an excellent groundcover.
Q: Can Sedum 'Wildfire' be propagated from cuttings?
A: Yes, it propagates easily from stem cuttings or by dividing established clumps in spring or early summer; allow cut stems to callous for a day before planting in well-draining soil.
Q: What happens if this plant receives less than 6 hours of light daily?
A: Sedum 'Wildfire' foliage will shift toward green rather than burgundy-red, and it may become leggy or stretch toward the light source.

🌵 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.
