Sedum nussbaumerianum

Sedum nussbaumerianum – Appearance and General Care

Description:
Sedum nussbaumerianum, commonly known as Coppertone Stonecrop, is a vibrant, low-growing succulent loved for its warm, glowing foliage. Its fleshy, pointed leaves are bright green in shade but turn stunning shades of golden yellow, orange, and copper in full sun. The plant forms spreading clusters with a slightly trailing habit. In late winter to spring, it produces small, star-shaped white flowers that contrast beautifully with the colourful leaves.

General Care:

• Light: Prefers full sun to bright light. More sun brings out the rich copper tones.
• Water: Water moderately in spring and summer, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Keep drier in winter.
• Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions but protect from frost. Ideal range is 10–30°C.
• Feeding: Feed lightly during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer.
• Maintenance: Fast-growing and easy to propagate from cuttings. Trim to maintain shape if needed.

A colourful and easy-care succulent, perfect for adding warmth and contrast to containers and rock gardens.
