Sedum sieboldii 'Mediovariegata', is a compact upright perennial sedum that has splashes of gold, cream, and green on its succulent leaves. The foliage emerges in early spring full of color and the color does green slightly in the summer; but still holds it's variegation. In late summer and throughout autumn white umbels are borne above the foliage to complete the display. After, finishing it's display for the year the leaves are dropped and dried flower heads remain. These amber colored heads can be left through the winter or trimmed a couple inches above the crown. Very drought tolerant and long lived perennia
Low to moderate. Sedum October daphne is drought tolerant and considered an excellent candidate for xeriscaping. Provide regularly throughout the growing season, and allow the soil moisture to dry out between watering.
Fertilize a couple of times a month during the growing season using a weak solution of standard liquid fertilizer. Watch carefully early in the spring, and when new shoots emerge from the soil provide the first feeding.
Fertile, well-drained soil should have a neutral to alkaline pH reading. A good soil mix for this plant consists of one part leaf mold, two-parts sand and three parts of a natural, loam-based compost.
