  •   Dragon's Blood Sedum is a hardy, low-growing succulent in the Crassulaceae family, beloved by collectors and beginners alike. Native to Europe and Asia, it naturally colonizes rocky slopes, dry meadows, and stony ground, making it one of the toughest red stonecrop succulents you can grow. This easy-care plant thrives in conditions that would defeat most houseplants, and it adapts beautifully to both garden beds and container life.

      Dragon's Blood Sedum forms a dense, upright mat of small, spoon-shaped leaves that shift from deep green to rich burgundy-red as temperatures cool, giving it that signature dragon's blood color that collectors search for. The foliage has a slightly fleshy, waxy texture, and the red and purple tones intensify with sun exposure and seasonal stress. It is a wide spreader by nature, filling containers and garden edges with jewel-toned rosette clusters that look striking year-round.

      Dragon's Blood Sedum produces bright, star-shaped red to pink flowers in summer, typically from June through August, forming flat-topped clusters that attract pollinators and add another layer of color to the already vivid foliage. The blooms are cheerful and reliable, appearing annually on healthy plants without any fuss. This plant also earns points for architectural appeal, bringing bold structure and color to rock gardens, borders, and containers with its dense, spreading habit.

      Dragon's Blood Sedum is a fantastic choice for gardeners in Zone 3 through Zone 8, handling everything from Minnesota winters to Georgia summers with ease. It moves outside happily for summer, tolerates balcony wind and rain without complaint, and can stay outdoors well into autumn as temperatures drop. This plant is pet friendly, making it a worry-free pick for households with cats or dogs, and it even releases oxygen at night, a nice bonus for bedroom growers. Whether you want a 2" starter to tuck into a rock garden or a 4" pot to anchor a container arrangement, Dragon's Blood Sedum delivers rare visual drama with almost no effort.

  •   Dragon's Blood Sedum thrives in bright indirect light but tolerates both direct sun and low-light conditions indoors.

      Water Dragon's Blood Sedum every 10 to 14 days in summer, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings.

      Dragon's Blood Sedum prefers a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix amended with extra perlite for best results.

      Dragon's Blood Sedum handles temperatures from -40°F (-40°C) in winter down to frost and up to 90°F (32°C) in summer.

      Dragon's Blood Sedum is a moderate to fast grower that spreads readily and benefits from a light balanced fertilizer once in spring.

      Dragon's Blood Sedum is hardy in USDA Zones 3 through 8, tolerating frost well below 0°F (-18°C), which makes it one of the most cold-hardy red stonecrop succulents available. It grows beautifully across a huge range of states, including Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Utah.

    🌵 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.
