Product description
Sedum 'Hot Stuff', commonly known as Stonecrop, is a compact perennial that adds bold, succulent charm to garden borders and containers. It features upright stems with fleshy green leaves and dense, flat-topped clusters of vivid pink, star-like flowers that light up the garden in late summer. This variety is a standout for its neat habit and intense colouring, making it ideal for modern garden designs and classic cottage borders alike.
Perfectly suited to full sun and well-drained soils, Sedum 'Hot Stuff' thrives in dry conditions and poor soils where other plants may struggle. Flowering from August to September, it offers vital late-season nectar for pollinators and teams beautifully with ornamental grasses and summer perennials. Its tidy shape makes it especially useful in gravel gardens, patio pots, and as edging for paths or beds.
Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, 'Hot Stuff' is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a fuss-free, high-impact perennial. Loved by bees and butterflies, it supports garden biodiversity and extends seasonal colour well into autumn. Its vibrant blooms also hold well when cut for indoor arrangements.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Instructions
Top Tip
Sedum thrives in dry, poor soil with excellent drainage—perfect for rock gardens. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
How to Water
Water Sedum sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. These drought-tolerant plants prefer minimal moisture and good drainage.
How to Plant
Plant Sedum in well-drained soil, preferably in a sunny spot. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Space plants 15-30cm apart to allow for growth.
