Sedum nussbaumerianum Highlights:

• This golden Sedum forms rosettes that are green in the center with leaf edges ranging from yellow to bright red when exposed to direct sunlight, infrequent watering, or cool temperatures.
• Over time, this succulent grows to spread out with many rosettes on stems.
  
• Produces tall bloom stalks with clusters of white, star-shaped flowers that typically bloom in the spring.
  
• Easily propagated from leaf and stem cuttings.
  
• Hardy to Zone 10 (30°-35° F). Sedum will not survive a hard frost. However, succulents can easily be grown indoors under grow lights or in a sunny window if there is a risk of temperatures dropping below 35° F. If there is only a risk of freezing temperatures for a few days, most succulents do just fine outside if they are covered by frost cloth or a sheet until temperatures increase (I'm talking to you, Zone 9 friends).

Sedum Care: As with all succulents, it is best to follow a "soak and dry" schedule where you water your plants deeply (until water runs out the bottom drain holes), and then allow your soil to dry completely before watering again. Succulents should always be planted in well-draining cactus and succulent soil and in a pot or container that has drain holes. Be sure to provide your Sedum with plenty of bright sunlight to maintain its vibrant colors.
