Sedum hispanicum ‘Pinkie’
Blooming Time
Exposure
`Pinkie’ is like the cultivar `Minus’ but with its foliage picking up a rich rosy blush during cool weather. Once the growing season progresses its color transitions to a rich gray-blue. `Pinkie’ is a fine choice for filling between stepping stones, rock retaining walls, and as a small scale ground cover. It flowers during mid season with pinkish white flowers borne upon compact branches.

Care
Watering:
'Pinkie' Sedum is very drought tolerant and typically only needs watering during the hottest days of summer.
Fertilizing:
'Pinkie' Sedum needs little fertilizer, but benefits from a single springtime or fall topdressing (about 1 inch deep) of organic compost or well rotted leaves. Alternatively, a springtime application of a slow release fertilizer with a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet.
Pruning:
'Pinkie' Sedum is a deciduous plant (nonevergreen) and does not require pruning. It is perfectly acceptable to allow the dropped leaves to decompose and nourish the soil.
