The Voodoo Sedum is the perfect ground-cover for hot, dry places. Its evergreen foliage is colored intense shades of burgundy red, making this plant really stand out. It is made even showier by the intense red flowers that appear in late spring and last for weeks through summer. It grows easily in very poor soil, and in very dry places, so it is the perfect plant for any area that is hot and dry. It will grow right out in full sun, in almost no soil, and without ever needing watering. Use it on dry slopes, among gravel and stones, and between the pavers on a patio or terrace. Use it to cover dry soil beneath shrubs and trees in your garden. It makes a great lawn substitute in dry areas too, or an edging for a path or driveway.
Plant your Voodoo Sedum in full sun, and in well-drained soil. Wherever you plant it, you will love the brilliant coloring it brings. It needs no organic additions to the soil, or fertilizers, and it grows in the most inhospitable spots in your garden. For those problem areas, where nothing will grow, now there is an answer. It is also free of pests or diseases, and it is not eaten by rabbits or deer. Use it even in the middle of a city, where urban pollution can threaten other plants. For tough beauty, this plant is impossible to beat.
