Atlantis Sedum

Key Features:
Size & Growth: Atlantis Sedum typically grows to a height of 8 to 12 inches with a spread of 12 to 18 inches. Its compact, mounding habit makes it suitable for ground cover, container gardening, and edging.
Foliage: Features fleshy, evergreen leaves that are variegated with shades of green, cream, and pink. The leaves often have a subtle pink edge, adding an extra layer of color and interest to the plant. The foliage retains its vibrant colors throughout the growing season.
Flowers: Produces small, star-shaped, pinkish-white flowers in late summer to early fall. The flower clusters are held above the foliage on sturdy stems, creating a lovely contrast and attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
Blooming Time: Blooms from late summer to early fall, providing a burst of color as the growing season transitions into autumn. The long-lasting flowers add seasonal interest to the garden.
Disease Resistance: Atlantis Sedum is generally resistant to common pests and diseases, including aphids and mildew. Its hardy nature makes it a low-maintenance choice for a variety of garden conditions.
Soil & Light Requirements: Prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade. It is highly adaptable to a range of soil types, including sandy, loamy, and rocky soils. The plant is drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for low-water gardens.
Care Instructions: Requires minimal maintenance. Regular watering during the growing season helps keep the plant hydrated, especially during dry spells. However, it is important to avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. In late fall, cut back the plant to maintain its shape and prepare it for winter.
Uses:
Ornamental: Ideal for adding texture and color to garden beds, borders, and rock gardens. The Atlantis Sedum’s vibrant foliage and flower clusters create a striking visual impact.
Ground Cover: Suitable for use as ground cover, where its spreading habit and attractive foliage can help suppress weeds and cover bare soil.
Container Gardening: Perfect for containers and patio gardens, where its compact size and unique foliage provide year-round interest.
Planting & Maintenance:
Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was growing in the container. Space multiple plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for their mature spread.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season. Avoid overhead watering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Mulch around the base of the plant to help retain soil moisture and reduce competition from weeds.
Pruning: Lightly trim back spent flower stems and any dead or damaged foliage to maintain the plant’s shape and health. In late fall, cut back the plant to prepare it for winter.
