Lemon Ball is a vibrant yellow and chartreuse Stonecrop Sedum with interesting, fleshy leaves that form a neat mat of brilliant color. This plant adds a splash of sunshine to rock gardens and sunny spots. It pairs beautifully with plants that have darker leaves, as well as with blues, purples, pinks, and even darker green foliage. Its mounding habit is tidy and fast-growing, and it produces clusters of yellow blooms in late spring.

Lemon Ball Sedum is perfect for terra cotta pots or hanging baskets, where it spills over the edges in just a few weeks. It gets its name from its bright color and the "ball" of growth it forms when used alone in a pot. As a succulent, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant and easy to grow. It thrives in well-drained soil, and adding gravel can help improve drainage. Be sure not to overwater, as this can harm the plant. It prefers more sun but can tolerate some shade.
