  •   Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' is a cheerful, low maintenance succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to Japan and parts of East Asia where it naturally carpets rocky slopes and forest edges. This easy care ground cover succulent has become a favorite for collectors and casual gardeners alike, and it is easy to see why the moment you spot that electric color.

      Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' lights up any space with its tiny, plump, needle-like leaves packed tightly along trailing stems in a vivid neon yellow-green that almost seems to glow. The mat forming succulent spreads in a low, dense cushion that trails beautifully over pot edges, making it one of the most visually striking yellow stonecrop varieties available. Bright light intensifies the neon yellow coloring, while lower light shifts the foliage toward a softer lime green.

      Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' produces small, star-shaped yellow flowers typically in late spring to summer, adding a delicate sparkle above the already colorful foliage. The blooms are modest but charming, and a night temperature drop can encourage the plant to set flower buds more reliably. This is a wonderful seasonal bonus on an already stunning drought tolerant succulent.

      Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' is a dream for balcony gardens, fairy gardens, terrariums, and mixed succulent containers, where its trailing habit and neon yellow color contrast beautifully with darker rosettes. It handles dry heated indoor air with ease, survives a 10-day trip without a caretaker, and lets you know it is thirsty by showing a gentle wilt. Move it outdoors for summer for the most intense color, and give it cover from heavy rain to prevent waterlogged soil. This plant is pet friendly, making it a safe and stylish choice for households with curious cats or dogs.

  •   Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' thrives in bright indirect light, partial sun, or full sun for the most vivid neon yellow color.

      Water Sedum japonicum 'Tokyo Sun' every 10-14 days in growing season, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.

    🌵 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.
