Name: Sedum x 'Lime Zinger' (SunSparkler® Lime Zinger Stonecrop)
Average Landscape Size: 4–6 in. tall × 18 in. wide; tight, mounding groundcover.
Sun Requirements: Full sun (at least 6 hours); can handle very light afternoon shade in the peak of a Texas summer, but full sun keeps the red edges vibrant.
Water Needs: Low; extremely drought-tolerant once established. Like all succulents, it must have fast-draining soil to prevent root issues during Houston's rainy spells.
Deer Resistance: High
Cold Hardiness: USDA Zones 4–9; very cold-hardy and will easily withstand Houston’s winter freezes.
Fertilization & Pruning: Requires very little fertilizer; a light feeding in spring is sufficient. No pruning is necessary, though you can deadhead the spent flower clusters in fall to keep it looking tidy.
Detailed Description: 'Lime Zinger' is a favorite for adding texture and high-contrast color to the landscape. Its coin-shaped, succulent leaves are a bright, citrusy green, and as the weather warms up, the edges develop a crisp, burgundy-red border. In late summer, the plant is covered in large, soft-pink flower clusters that stay colorful for weeks and provide a late-season feast for local pollinators and butterflies.
This variety is particularly well-suited for the Houston metro area because it maintains a much tighter, cleaner habit than older sedum varieties, which can sometimes get "floppy" in our humidity. It’s a fantastic choice for "living mulch" between larger shrubs, filling in gaps in a rock garden, or even as a low-maintenance topper for a container. If you have a sunny spot with poor soil where nothing else seems to grow, 'Lime Zinger' will likely thrive there with almost no effort on your part.
