  •   Sedum album 'Black Pearl' (Plug) is a striking frost hardy succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family, bred from the widely distributed Sedum album species native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. In the wild, it colonizes rocky slopes, walls, and dry grasslands, making it naturally tough and adaptable.

      What sets Sedum album 'Black Pearl' (Plug) apart is its deeply pigmented, near-black to dark burgundy foliage that intensifies in full sun. The tiny, fleshy, bead-like leaves form dense clumping and trailing clusters that spread beautifully over time. This dark foliage succulent creates a dramatic, jewel-toned carpet wherever it grows, contrasting stunningly against pale gravel, stone, or neighboring green plants.

      Sedum album 'Black Pearl' (Plug) typically produces clusters of small white to pale pink star-shaped flowers in summer, held on upright stems above the dark foliage. The blooms attract pollinators and do produce pollen, so those with plant allergies should keep that in mind. A slight drop in nighttime temperatures can encourage more prolific flowering.

      As a low maintenance succulent and exceptional ground cover succulent, Sedum album 'Black Pearl' (Plug) is ideal for rock gardens, green roofs, container edges, and outdoor borders. It handles balcony wind and rain with ease, tolerates dry heated indoor air, and can move outside for summer or stay outdoors well into autumn. This is also a pet safe succulent, so no worries if curious cats or dogs wander near it. If you are away, Sedum album 'Black Pearl' (Plug) can survive a 10-day trip alone without missing a beat.

  •   Sedum album 'Black Pearl' (Plug) thrives in partial sun to full sun, with the darkest foliage color developing in direct sun exposure.

      Water Sedum album 'Black Pearl' (Plug) every 2-3 weeks in summer, reducing to once a month or less in cooler months.

      Sedum album 'Black Pearl' (Plug) prefers a fast-draining mix such as cactus and succulent soil blended with coarse grit or perlite.

      Sedum album 'Black Pearl' (Plug) tolerates temperatures down to around 14°F (-10°C), making it a genuinely frost hardy succulent for cold winters.

      Sedum album 'Black Pearl' (Plug) grows at a moderate pace and needs only light feeding with a balanced fertilizer once in spring.

    🌵 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.
