Sedum ‘Lemon Ball’

Plants with chartreuse foliage really stand out in gardens of mostly green. This plant’s lemony yellow fine-textured leaves give it an appearance sort of like coral. It makes an excellent spiller for containers and also looks dynamite in a pot by itself. Because of Oklahoma’s heat and scorching winds I am generally not a fan of hanging baskets unless they are filled with drought-tolerant succulents like this plant. To survive winter, it needs to be planted in the ground in a sunny spot with well-drained soil like in a raised bed, preferably against a south-facing wall.
