Very fleshy, slightly tapered leaves showcasing a gradient of golden, green, and coppery orange color characterize Sedum ‘Golden Glow,’ lending the loose, clustered rosettes atop gracefully arching stems a brightness sure to contribute an element of contrast within any succulent arrangement. Reaching a maximum mature length of 12 inches, the stems of ‘Golden Glow’ make the perfect addition to hanging baskets, where they will begin to obscure and soften the edges of the pot as they grow and produce offsets.
In temperate climates above Zone 9, ‘Golden Glow’ can be similarly at home right within the landscapes, where it will form a spreading mound of color and texture that looks especially great alongside deeper green or red specimens. In chillier climates, however, it must be shielded from the damaging impacts of frost during the winter months, before sending out clusters of white blooms during the warmth of spring.
Though able to tolerate some afternoon shade, ‘Golden Glow’ will perform the best when provided with plenty of bright to full sunshine. Like many Sedum, it is typically known for its hardiness, asking only for a well-draining soil mix and pot, in conjunction with a thorough yet infrequent watering routine, to accommodate its drought-resistant nature and avoid the issues such as rot that can stem from excess moisture.
