Sedum 'Lemon Ball'
Sedum 'Lemon Ball' is a semi-evergreen perennial with vibrant chartreuse, fleshy leaves arranged in a whorl around stems. Unlike Sedum 'Angelina,' 'Lemon Ball' maintains its yellow color year-round and has a denser, mounding growth habit. Thrives in average, dry soil, including shallow, rocky, or sandy soil, as long as it has good drainage. Prefers regular watering but can tolerate drought. Yellow blooms appear in the summer. This cultivar reaches a mature height of 4"-6" and spreads 10"-12".
