| Botanical Name | Sedum x 'Lime Zinger' (SunSparkler® Series) |
| Description | SunSparkler® Lime Zinger is a standout in the Houston metro area for its ability to maintain a compact, weed-smothering mat even in high humidity. Its bright lime-green leaves are edged in cherry-red, topped by soft pink flowers in late summer. While it handles our intense heat excellently, it must have sharp drainage to survive our heavy rainfall and clay soil. We recommend planting in raised beds or incorporating expanded shale to ensure it doesn't sit in standing water. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (6+ hours) for best color and a tight growth habit. |
| Height x Width | 6 inches tall x 18 inches wide. |
| Water | Low; drought tolerant once established. Very sensitive to overwatering in clay. |
| Zones | 4 - 9 |
| Fertilization | Apply a light, balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring. |
| Pruning | Cut back spent flower stalks to keep the foliage looking fresh. |
| Deer Resistance | Moderate to High |
