Notes

'Brilliant' sedum (Sedum 'Brilliant') is a perennial for borders, containers, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil of most types. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit it, and it is drought tolerant. You can plant it where other flowers struggle with dry spells.

Pairs well with Rubinglow coneflower, Silver feather grass, and Hardy geranium.
