  •   Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' is a compact, cold hardy succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family, bred from Sedum species native to rocky, well-drained habitats across the Northern Hemisphere. This low maintenance perennial has become a favorite among succulent collectors and gardeners looking for a tough, drought tolerant ground cover that earns its keep through every season.

      Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' forms tight, clumping mounds of small, fleshy leaves in a striking burgundy red that deepens even further in cooler temperatures. The foliage has a plump, bead-like texture and holds its rich color throughout the growing season, making this stonecrop succulent a vivid focal point in any rock garden or container planting.

      Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' produces clusters of small, star-shaped pink to rose-red flowers in late summer to early autumn, adding a cheerful pop of color just as many other plants begin to fade. The blooms attract pollinators and do produce pollen, so gardeners with seasonal allergies may want to keep that in mind when choosing a planting spot.

      Whether you grow Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' in a sunny border, a balcony container, or a rock garden, this plant handles wind, rain, and dry heated air without complaint. It moves outside beautifully for summer, stays handsome through autumn, and its clumping, clustering habit keeps it tidy without constant intervention. Best of all, this plant is pet friendly, making it a worry-free choice for households with curious cats or dogs. If the leaves ever look slightly soft or wrinkled, that is the plant's natural signal that it is thirsty, so a good watering will perk it right back up.

  •   Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' thrives in full sun to partial sun, with at least four to six hours of direct light daily for the richest foliage color.

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

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

      Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' tolerates temperatures from around -20°F (-29°C) at its hardiest to well above 90°F (32°C), making it a genuinely frost tolerant succulent for cold climates.

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

      Sedum Sunsparkler 'Firecracker' is typically hardy in USDA Zones 4 through 9, tolerating frost down to approximately -30°F (-34°C) in its coldest rated zones.

    🌵 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.
