Dragon's Blood Sedum is an interesting succulent, growing freely and forming a mat quickly in sunny landscapes. It has hot pink flowers that bloom in early to late summer, and its leaves turn a gorgeous wine red in cool temperatures. As a sedum, it can spread easily and is a perfect choice for an attractive, succulent groundcover. Dragon's Blood Sedum is the perfect low-maintenance houseplant for any living space, helping to save water and spruce up your home. This unique plant is sustainably sourced from the best nurseries in California.

When you receive your Dragon's Blood Sedum, open the box and place them on an airy and sunny windowsill, refraining from watering for the first 1-3 days to allow them to adjust to your home conditions. These fully rooted succulents are 100% sustainably grown, and you'll receive them in either a 2" or 4" size, with the option to request a plastic pot and soil if desired.

Dragon Blood Serum's flowering season starts from August to September, with naturally star-shaped and pink flowers, although some varieties can have white or dark red colors. This plant can endure the coldest and harshest winter seasons, going dormant in the winter but coming back brightly and strongly in spring to bloom again every year.

Like most Sedum, Dragon's Blood propagates easily from stem cuttings, which should be done during spring and mid-summer. Simply cut off stems near their base, remove the leaves, and place them in a pot with a soilless potting mix, allowing the roots to develop before planting the rooted cuttings in your garden or a bigger pot.

To care for your Dragon's Blood Sedum, place it where it will get full sun to partial sun, as it needs at least 6 hours of sunlight or more to thrive. If growing it indoors, consider using grow lights. Water it sparingly, using the soak and dry method, and ensure the soil is well-draining to avoid root rot. This succulent is one of the most frost-hardy, able to endure cold weather in USDA hardiness zones 3-8.

In summary, the Dragon's Blood Sedum is a unique and sustainable succulent that is easy to care for and propagate, making it an excellent choice for any living space. With its beautiful flowers and ability to thrive in a variety of conditions, it's no wonder this plant has become a favorite among succulent enthusiasts.
