A funny thing happened on the way to May: I have what looks to be a million tiny yellow flowers. It happens every year for about four to six weeks, but no one talks about it. Some even look away.
Lemon Coral sedum was the 2019 Proven Winners Annual of the Year, yet I don’t remember flowers being mentioned. While I am at it, I will add, I have never had one die, either. The truth (or caveat) to that is I have lived my whole horticultural life in zones 7b-10 — in other words, fairly mild to warm climates.
When it comes to Lemon Coral, we all love the soft succulent needle-like foliage so much we almost confess apologetically and tell our friends and neighbors, "Oh, that is the sedum blooming." Proven Winners now say if you are lucky, you may get some blooms. Every year The Garden Guy gets a million yellow blooms and I am not the only one. We aren’t embarrassed, let’s celebrate it! I can even see some town having a Lemon Coral Flower Festival.
