Plant Details

Chris Hansen has done it again! Lime green foliage with a crisp, contrasting red edge. Hot pink flower heads last for weeks through late summer into fall, and don't flop or fade! A perfect addition to the front of the perennial border, and works great in containers.

Interesting Notes

Thumbnail-sized leaves of lime green are each surrounded by cherry-red picotee edges. Never before has there been a groundcover sedum with such colorful contrasting foliage! Sedum 'Lime Zinger' brings a totally new look to the groundcover realm of Sedums with its compact 6" tall habit which colorfully spreads to 18" wide in a single year! The attractive foliage display is topped in late summer with brilliant pink blooms which last for several weeks. Chris selected Lime Zinger Sedum from 1000's of his seedlings he'd been growing and evaluating in his field in west Michigan. He considers it a great breakthrough in groundcover Sedum breeding. - Great Garden Plants
