Widow’s Cross Sedum (Gallon pot)

Description

A creeping native sedum…. annual or biennial that self seeds. Likes full to part sun, and well-drained soil. Only gets about 6 inches tall. Great for wall and rock gardens.

Widow’s Cross is a winter annual, meaning seeds will germinate in the fall, and young plants will overwinter. Continued growth happens the next spring and by mid-summer seed will mature, drop, and plants will die down. This Sedum is a hardy, tough little plant.

Vivid pink blooms with lime green, alternate leaves and a branching stem. Distinct dustings of minuscule black and red dots on its petals complete the beauty of this plant.

The common name of Widow’s Cross refers to the cross shape of its four petals. The Latin name translates to pretty or beautiful, which is a perfect description of the vibrant coloration found during bloom. The plant offers abundant rewards of pollen and nectar to visiting pollinators.
