Description
Sedum spectabile 'Meteor' is a variety of autumn stonecrop, with carmine star-shaped flowers in large clusters. The glaucous leaves form a charming acidic contrast with the flowers.
Sedum spectabile 'Meteor' is a succulent plant in the Crassulaceae family. It is a plant of extreme environments: its advantage lies in its ability to store juices in its leaves and fleshy stems to better mobilise them in case of drought. 'Meteor' is a deciduous variety with an upright habit reaching a mature size of 40cm (16in) in all directions. The opposite leaves are almost tongue-shaped and, along with the stems, are glaucous green. In autumn (September to October), they bear an abundance of small flowers arranged in carmine corymbiform clusters. The flowers, leaves, and stems then create a stunning contrast of colours.
Sedums do not have many requirements. They tolerate poor soil with little substrate, even limestone, thanks to their shallow root system. They should be placed in full sun as they require high light intensity. Plant them in well-drained soil. They can withstand freezing temperatures and periods of high heat and drought. Simple and adaptable, Sedum spectabile 'Meteor' is also melliferous and nectariferous, attracting butterflies for an extra burst of colour. Stunning in flower beds, rock gardens, or simply in containers, it stands out when combined with sedges to create the backdrop of a wild garden. When dried, its inflorescences make beautiful bouquets.
Sedum is said to have healing properties for small cuts, scrapes, or burns. It is also believed to have diuretic and laxative effects.

Planting and care
Sedum spectabile 'Meteor' does not have many requirements. It is satisfied with poor or ordinary soil with little substrate, even limestone, thanks to a shallow root system. The beautiful colours of the leaves and stems are directly dependent on the sunlight and the amount of water it receives. It should be placed in full sun and in dry, well-drained soil to avoid moisture stagnation, especially in winter. It can withstand negative temperatures and periods of high heat and drought. However, it still needs some moisture during its growing period. In pots, provide a layer of gravel for drainage. Prune the clump in winter when it is dry.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
