The Annual of
the Year for 2019 is Lemon Coral® Sedum. If you've never grown this plant before you are in
for a treat. Let's start with the bright, fresh, chartreuse foliage which
always tempts me to pet it. It's just so very tactile! Some
sedums are spikey or otherwise prickly, but Lemon Coral is soft and
remains so all season. Good vigor means that it will mix well with all
kinds of plants in combination containers, and it is a fabulous container
plant all by itself. Don't think of it as ONLY a container plant, though.
It is wonderful in landscapes too. While it thrives in average moisture, it
will tolerate drought stress with aplomb. It is an annual in most climates,
but is hardy in zones 7-11. It performs well in full to part sun and will
be a garden workhorse. Chartreuse works with every other color under the
sun, so finding a spot, or ten, to use it, should be easy-peasy.
If you have not tried this plant I recommend you do! It is simply delightful and always looks great for me! I love the color, it really catches the eye! Great accent with other plants and also alone in a planter by itself! I think I have used it for three or four years now. In fairy gardens even!
