Sedum 'Lime Zinger': Vivid Foliage, Clean Form

Bright and beautifully defined, Sedum 'Lime Zinger' adds a refreshing splash of colour to sunny gardens with its lime-green, scalloped leaves edged in cherry red. This low, spreading groundcover forms a dense mat that stays tidy all season and erupts with rosy-pink flower clusters in late summer. Drought tolerant and deer resistant, it offers lasting ornamental value from spring through fall. Whether spilling over rock walls or threading through borders, it’s a cheerful and reliable choice for hot, dry spots.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 10–15 cm
• Spread: 40–50 cm
• Flower Colour: Rosy pink
• Flowering Period: Late summer to early fall
• Foliage: Lime green with red margins; rounded and succulent
• Sunlight Requirements: Full sun
• Soil Requirements: Well-drained, sandy or gravelly soils

Uses and Benefits: Perfect for edging, slopes, and containers, 'Lime Zinger' spreads easily but maintains a clean, compact form that’s ideal for massing or accenting bolder companions. Its bright foliage holds its colour throughout the season, providing contrast and structure even before flowering. A magnet for pollinators and a champion in poor soils, it’s a hardworking groundcover with undeniable charm.

Companion Plants: Pair Sedum 'Lime Zinger' with the silvery, mint-scented foliage of Pycnanthemum muticum, the upright steel-blue blades of Panicum 'Heavy Metal', and the fragrant, magenta blooms of Dianthus 'Firewitch' for a textured, pollinator-friendly mix that glows with contrast and thrives in sunny, well-drained conditions.

Care Instructions: Plant in full sun with excellent drainage. Water to establish, then only during prolonged drought. Trim lightly in early spring to refresh foliage. Divide every few years to maintain density and spread to new areas if desired.

History: Part of the SunSparkler® series bred by Chris Hansen, 'Lime Zinger' was selected for its distinctive foliage colour, disease resistance, and ground-hugging habit. It’s become a staple in colourful, low-maintenance plantings across North America.

Final Thoughts: Bright, compact, and full of personality, Sedum 'Lime Zinger' is a groundcover that turns up the volume on foliage colour while keeping the maintenance low and the pollinators happy.
