Firestorm Sedum (Sedum 'Firestorm') is a striking succulent known for its colorful foliage. It forms a low-growing mat of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that emerge green but develop brilliant red edges and tips, especially in cooler temperatures and full sun. In summer, it produces clusters of small star-shaped yellow flowers. This drought-tolerant perennial typically grows 4-6 inches tall with a spreading habit and is perfect for rock gardens, borders, and containers.
