Chocolate Sedum

Chocolate Sedum (Sedum spathulifolium ‘Chocolate’)

Chocolate Sedum, also known as Sedum spathulifolium ‘Chocolate’, is a striking succulent with thick, spoon-shaped leaves that are a rich deep purple-brown, almost resembling chocolate. Its compact rosettes are a beautiful contrast to lighter-colored plants, and it thrives in both sunny and partial shade locations. The color intensifies with exposure to sunlight, making it a stunning addition to any succulent collection.

Care Tips:

Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Sunlight enhances the rich chocolate color of the leaves.

Water: Water sparingly and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. It is drought-tolerant and should not be overwatered.

Soil: Requires well-draining soil. Use a cactus or succulent mix to ensure proper drainage and prevent root rot.

Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 60°F to 85°F (15°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant—protect from cold weather.

Propagation: Easily propagated from leaves or stem cuttings. Let the cut ends callous before planting.

Uses: Perfect for containers, rock gardens, or mixed succulent arrangements. Its unique color and compact form make it an excellent contrast plant in succulent gardens and decorative pots.
