Sedum 'Dark Magic'
Dark Magic: Deep Purple Foliage and Late Pink Flowers
Sedum 'Dark Magic' forms an upright clump of glossy deep-purple leaves. Dense heads of dark pink flowers can brighten the plant in late summer and early autumn.
- 🖤 Dark foliage: Purple leaves can appear nearly black in strong light.
- 🌸 Late-season flowers: Clusters of small star-shaped blooms rise above the foliage.
- 🍂 Winter rest: This outdoor perennial can die back to its crown and return in spring.
Choose Dark Magic for a sunny border or draining outdoor container with a bold foliage contrast.
Care Tips
Light: Grow in full sun for compact growth and rich foliage color.
Water: Water while establishing and during prolonged dry spells. Let the soil dry between waterings and avoid saturating the dormant crown in winter.
Soil: Use well-drained soil; avoid overly rich or persistently wet mixes.
Temperature: A hardy outdoor herbaceous perennial. Give container roots extra protection from extreme winter conditions.

Care Instructions
Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.
To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.
Allow the soil to dry to the level recommended in the Care Tips above before watering again. Always drain excess water.
Weather Conditions
- When ordering, be mindful that living succulents can freeze. If you live in an area that is below 40°F, please consider purchasing plant until the weather is more suitable.
