Sedum Jester

Sedum 'Jester' – Bold Color Meets Easy-Care Beauty | Upright, Cold-Hardy Succulent Perennial

Bring vibrant color and seasonal flair to your garden with Sedum 'Jester', a striking succulent perennial known for its bold foliage, sturdy stems, and pollinator-attracting blooms. A colorful cultivar of Sedum telephium, this clump-forming plant features fleshy, ovate leaves that shift through shades of green, burgundy, and bronze, creating year-round interest.

In late summer to early autumn, it puts on a floral show with large, flat-topped clusters of soft pink, star-shaped flowers—a magnet for bees and butterflies.

Key Features:

Color-Shifting Foliage: Leaves range from green to burgundy and bronze depending on the season and light.

Compact & Upright: Grows 30–40 cm tall in tidy clumps—great for borders and beds.

Pollinator Magnet: Late-season pink blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

Versatile & Hardy: Drought-tolerant, cold-hardy, and adaptable to various soils.

Great for Containers: Adds structure and color to pots, rockeries, and low-maintenance beds.

 Care Tips:

• Light: Full sun brings out the best foliage colors; tolerates partial shade.
• Watering: Water deeply but infrequently. Let the soil dry completely between waterings.
• Soil: Prefers well-draining soil; tolerates sandy, gravelly, or poor soils.
• Hardiness: Cold-hardy and frost-tolerant; cut back after foliage dies down in winter.
• Maintenance: Remove spent flower heads for a neat look. Prune as needed.
• Propagation: Easily propagated by division or stem cuttings in spring or summer.

Sedum 'Jester' is a standout performer in any landscape—combining rich color, upright form, and pollinator-friendly flowers in a rugged, easy-care package. Perfect for sunny gardens, decorative containers, or drought-tolerant designs.
