  •   Sedum ochroleucum 'Red Wiggle' is a frost-hardy succulent in the Crassulaceae family, native to rocky, sun-drenched slopes of southern Europe and the Mediterranean region. This drought-tolerant stonecrop adapts to lean soils and tough conditions.

      Narrow, finger-like leaves wiggle and curl in clusters along upright stems, showing a red and green bicolor effect that deepens to darker red tones under stress or cooler temperatures. It grows upright and compact without sprawling, maintaining a tidy form that stays within bounds.

      Sedum 'Red Wiggle' tolerates dry heated indoor air and handles frost with ease, remaining outdoors through autumn and mild winters. The foliage intensifies further when exposed to cooler nights, shifting to deeper red hues as temperatures drop.

      Move it outside in summer for the most vibrant color development. This pet-friendly succulent is completely safe around cats and dogs, and you can leave it up to ten days without water. It grows on balconies, in rockeries, and garden borders, handling wind and rain without trouble. You can propagate it easily from stem cuttings by letting the cut end callous for a day or two, then placing it in dry, gritty soil to root.

  •   Sedum ochroleucum 'Red Wiggle' grows well in bright indirect light but also tolerates direct sun and low-light indoor conditions.

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

      Sedum 'Red Wiggle' grows well in gritty, well-draining cactus soil blended with 30-50% perlite.

      It handles temperatures from 20°F to 90°F, tolerating frost down to around 0°F in the coldest zones.

      Sedum 'Red Wiggle' grows at a moderate pace and needs only a light balanced feed once in spring.

      It is hardy in USDA zones 6-10, tolerating frost down to around 0°F. It grows outdoors year-round in Texas, California, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, and Delaware. It does well in the mild winters of the Pacific Coast and Gulf Coast states while also handling cold snaps in Midwest and northeastern gardens.
  • Q: Is Sedum ochroleucum 'Red Wiggle' safe to keep around cats and dogs?
    A: It is completely non-toxic and safe for both cats and dogs.

    Q: How much water does it need indoors during winter?
    A: Sedum ochroleucum 'Red Wiggle' needs water only once per month in winter as it enters dormancy and uses very little moisture.

    Q: What window placement works best for Sedum 'Red Wiggle' indoors?
    A: A bright window facing south or west develops the most intense red color, though it adapts to north and east-facing windows too.

    Q: How large does it grow?
    A: Sedum 'Red Wiggle' typically reaches 4-6 inches tall and stays narrow and upright, never spreading into a wide clump.

    Q: How do you propagate Sedum 'Red Wiggle'?
    A: Remove a stem cutting and allow the cut end to dry for a day or two, then nestle it into dry, gritty soil and wait for roots to form over a few weeks.

    Q: Can it survive outdoors in zone 5 winters?
    A: Sedum 'Red Wiggle' is hardy to zone 6, tolerating temperatures around 0°F, so zone 5 winters with colder extremes would stress or damage it. Container growing allows you to move it to a sheltered indoor spot during the coldest months.

    🌵 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.
