  •   Sedum sexangulare, commonly known as tasteless stonecrop or hexagon stonecrop, is a low-growing creeping succulent native to central and southern Europe, where it carpets rocky slopes, walls, and dry grasslands. It belongs to the Crassulaceae family and has naturalized widely thanks to its remarkable toughness. This cold hardy succulent is a true ground cover workhorse, beloved by gardeners who want effortless, year-round coverage.

      Sedum sexangulare earns the name six-sided stonecrop from its tiny, cylindrical leaves arranged in six neat spiraling rows around each stem, creating a distinctive watch-chain texture that sets it apart instantly. The foliage is a rich forest green, tightly packed and almost scale-like, forming dense, low mats that spread outward in a clustering, upright habit. The overall effect is architectural yet charmingly intricate, and the vibrant color stays consistent through most of the year.

      Sedum sexangulare produces cheerful star-shaped yellow flowers in early to midsummer, smothering the plant in vivid golden blooms that attract pollinators and add a seasonal burst of color. The flowers carry little to no fragrance but are prolific, making this plant a standout in rock gardens and borders during its bloom window. Note that Sedum sexangulare does produce pollen, so those with seasonal sensitivities may want to keep that in mind.

      Sedum sexangulare is an easy-care, drought tolerant succulent that genuinely thrives on a little neglect, making it equally at home in containers, raised beds, borders, or as a living ground cover between stepping stones. It handles balcony wind, rain, and drafty spots without complaint, moves outside happily for summer, and can stay outdoors well into autumn. This is a pet friendly succulent, edible in small amounts with a mild, tasteless flavor true to its common name, and with proper division it will fill a wide spread over seasons, becoming a true heirloom planting that improves every year.

  •   Sedum sexangulare thrives in bright indirect light indoors and tolerates direct sun outdoors, though it may scorch in intense south-facing windows.

      Water Sedum sexangulare every 10 to 14 days in the growing season, allowing soil to dry completely between waterings, and reduce to monthly in winter.

      Sedum sexangulare prefers a fast-draining succulent or cactus mix blended with extra perlite or grit to prevent root rot.

      Sedum sexangulare tolerates temperatures from 10°F (-12°C) up to 85°F (29°C) and is impressively frost tolerant for a succulent.

      Sedum sexangulare is a moderate to fast spreader outdoors and benefits from light trimming after flowering to keep its mat tidy; feed lightly once in spring.

      Sedum sexangulare is hardy in USDA Zones 4 through 9, tolerating frost down to approximately -30°F (-34°C) at the colder end of that range. This makes it a reliable choice across a sweeping band of the United States, including Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington, and Kentucky. Sedum sexangulare also performs beautifully in Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Arizona at elevation, Nevada, California, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, giving gardeners across nearly the entire country a shot at growing this resilient ground cover succulent.
  • Q: Is Sedum sexangulare pet friendly?
    A: Yes, Sedum sexangulare is pet friendly and is not considered toxic to cats or dogs. It is one of the safer succulent choices for households with curious pets.

    Q: How much light does Sedum sexangulare need?
    A: Sedum sexangulare grows best in bright indirect light indoors and loves full sun outdoors. Avoid intense afternoon south-window exposure, which can scorch the foliage.

    Q: How do I propagate Sedum sexangulare?
    A: Propagating Sedum sexangulare is simple: snip a short stem, let the cut end callous for a day or two, then press it onto well-draining soil. New roots typically form within two to three weeks.

    Q: Is Sedum sexangulare frost tolerant?
    A: Sedum sexangulare is an exceptionally cold hardy succulent, tolerating frost down to around -30°F (-34°C) in well-drained soil. It is reliably hardy across USDA Zones 4 through 9.

    Q: Why are the leaves on my Sedum sexangulare turning yellow?
    A: Yellowing leaves on Sedum sexangulare are almost always a sign of overwatering or poorly draining soil. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings and ensure the pot or planting site drains freely.

    Q: How fast does Sedum sexangulare spread?
    A: Outdoors in good sun and well-draining soil, Sedum sexangulare spreads at a moderate to brisk pace, forming wide mats over one to two seasons. Indoors in containers, growth is steadier and more compact.

    🌵 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.
