  •   Sedum 'Coral Reef', also called Chinese Stonecrop, is a low-growing succulent in the Crassulaceae family native to eastern China, where it grows on rocky outcrops and well-drained slopes. This drought-tolerant stonecrop has earned a devoted following among groundcover lovers and container gardeners for its toughness and adaptability.

      The plant forms a mat of small, rounded leaves with scalloped edges that shift from bright green to coral, bronze, and red tones as sunlight and cooler temperatures intensify the color. Its trailing, clumping habit hugs the ground and spills over the edges of containers or raised beds.

      In summer, it produces small, star-shaped yellow flowers that appear in clusters just above the foliage. The blooms attract pollinators and add a seasonal accent to the garden display.

      Sedum 'Coral Reef' works equally well in hanging baskets, sunny borders, or balcony containers where it handles wind and rain without trouble. Move it outside for summer, and it stays strong well into autumn, tolerating dry heated indoor air when brought back inside. It is non-toxic to cats and dogs.

  •   Sedum tetractinum 'Coral Reef' - Chinese Stonecrop grows well in partial sun to full sun, with more direct sun producing the most vivid coral and red leaf tones.

      Water it every 10-14 days during the growing season, reducing to once a month in winter.

      Sedum 'Coral Reef' does best in a gritty, fast-draining mix such as cactus soil blended with perlite at a 2:1 ratio.

      It handles temperatures from -20°F up to around 90°F and is impressively frost hardy.

      Sedum 'Coral Reef' is a moderate to fast spreader that benefits from light trimming to keep its trailing form tidy; fertilize lightly once in spring.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 4-9, tolerating frost down to -20°F. It grows outdoors in Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington, as well as Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. It also grows in cooler inland and elevated areas of warmer states including Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Florida, Arizona, Nevada, and California.

    🌵 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.
