| Botanical Name | Sedum mexicanum 'Lemon Ball' |
| Description | 'Lemon Ball' is a standout succulent for the Houston metro area, specifically prized for its ability to maintain its neon-yellow color even in high humidity and intense Texas sun. While it is incredibly tough, it requires excellent drainage to survive our heavy Gulf Coast rainfall. In areas with heavy clay, it is critical to plant in raised beds, rock gardens, or amended soil with expanded shale. Avoid low spots where water collects, as this variety is highly susceptible to root rot in saturated conditions. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Best color) to Light Shade |
| Height x Width | 4-6" Height x 10-12" Width |
| Water | Low; drought tolerant once established |
| Zones | 7 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a light application of balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring |
| Pruning | Generally not needed; trim back if it grows out of its desired bounds |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate to High |
