Include in sunny borders near the edge of the bed. They'll be a magnificent partner for Asters or Coneflowers for a wonderful autumn display.

Create a modern planting by using it in front of Ornamental Grasses to polish the look. You'll gain movement, color and bold style. Add Adam's Needle Yucca for a desert look, even in Zone 4.

Fill a wide, open area with a mass planting of Mr. Goodbud. Space them 10 inches apart, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next.

Underplant with several kinds of groundcover Sedum as part of a special, curated collection. You'll enjoy months of blooms—without lifting a finger— by choosing varieties with overlapping bloom times.

#ProPlantTips for Care

These widely adaptable plants are easy to grow in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil. Give it full sun all day long, at least 6 hours of direct sunlight is required.

During the first season, give it a medium amount of water on a regular basis. After the fleshy roots are well-established in your soil, you can ease off on the supplemental water.

We always recommend that you protect your investment with water in prolonged drought. But Mr. Goodbud Sedum is a water-wise plant to include in Xeriscape landscapes.

Leave the dried stalks standing for winter. The large dried flowers catch and sculpt light snowfall in a very interesting way. For a clean-looking appearance, remove the old foliage before new growth begins in the spring.

Other than that, no special care is required. You'll appreciate these exceptional plants more every year. Order Mr. Goodbud Sedum from Nature Hills today!
