How to establish your Sedum Midnight Coral?

Plant Sedum Midnight Coral in a full sun position.

For best performance:

Choose a location with at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.
Full sun produces the richest foliage colour and heaviest flowering.
Avoid heavily shaded sites.

How to maintain your Sedum Midnight Coral once established?

Water regularly while the plant establishes.

Once established, Midnight Coral is highly drought tolerant.

Water only during prolonged dry periods and allow the soil to dry between waterings.

Avoid overwatering.

Sedums require very little feeding.

For best results:

Apply compost lightly in spring.
Use a balanced slow-release fertiliser only if required.
Avoid excessive fertiliser, which can reduce foliage colour and encourage weak growth.

After flowering you can:

Remove spent flower heads for a tidy appearance.
Or leave them standing through winter for additional seasonal interest.

The dried flower heads often look beautiful covered with frost.

Cut old stems back to approximately 5–10cm above ground level.
Remove damaged or dead material.
New shoots will emerge in spring.

Increase plant numbers.

Spring is the ideal time for division.

Midnight Coral is highly frost hardy and performs well throughout New Zealand.

Winter care is simple:

Leave flower heads standing if desired.
Ensure excellent drainage.
Cut back before new growth begins in spring.

Midnight Coral is an outstanding container plant.
