Pot Size: 3.5"
Accepted Scientific Name:
Sedum 'Dream Dazzler'
Origin and Habitat:
Sedum 'Dream Dazzler' is a modern hybrid cultivar developed for ornamental use in temperate gardens. It is derived from species native to Eurasia, particularly mountainous regions with rocky, well-drained soils. These native environments feature seasonal drought, poor soil fertility, and full sun exposure, ideal conditions for the development of resilient succulents. 'Dream Dazzler' thrives in similar dry, sunny habitats and is well-suited for use in rock gardens, containers, and mixed succulent landscapes.
Description:
Sedum 'Dream Dazzler' is a compact, clumping succulent that grows to about 6 to 10 inches tall and spreads 12 to 18 inches wide. It features stunning variegated foliage—deep purple leaves edged with hot pink and cream tones. The colors intensify with sunlight and seasonal changes. In late summer, vibrant pink, star-shaped flowers bloom in clusters atop the foliage, attracting bees and butterflies while providing strong visual impact.
