Sedum Limelight- "Green Mound"
Sedum 'Limelight', also known as "Green Mound," is a vibrant, low-growing succulent admired for its bright chartreuse foliage and compact growth habit. This hardy perennial belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is a popular choice for rock gardens, ground covers, and container plantings.
Key Characteristics:
- Chartreuse Foliage: The most striking feature is its dense, lush foliage composed of tiny, fleshy, chartreuse leaves arranged in rosettes. These leaves create a carpet-like effect, adding a splash of vibrant color to any landscape.
- Star-Shaped Flowers: In summer, 'Limelight' produces clusters of star-shaped yellow flowers that rise above the foliage, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies.
- Drought Tolerance: This sedum is highly drought-tolerant, making it ideal for dry gardens or areas with limited water resources. It stores water in its leaves and stems, allowing it to survive extended periods of dryness.
- Low Maintenance: 'Limelight' is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal care once established. It thrives in full sun and well-draining soil, making it perfect for busy gardeners or those seeking fuss-free greenery.
Care Tips:
- Light: Plant in full sun for the most vibrant foliage color. It can tolerate partial shade, but the leaves may become less colorful.
- Watering: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
- Soil: Plant in well-draining soil, such as a sandy or gravelly mix. Avoid heavy or clay soils that retain moisture.
