Sedum Sunsparkler 'Wildfire' is a cold-hardy succulent in the Crassulaceae family, bred from Sedum species native to rocky, sun-baked regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It belongs to the Sunsparkler series, a line of compact, clumping sedums selected for exceptional color and garden toughness. It grows in gardens with strong performance and low maintenance needs.
The plant is an eye-catching red foliage succulent with fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that flush deep burgundy to fiery reddish-purple, intensifying in strong sun. It grows in a low, clumping and clustering habit, spreading wide to form a dense, weed-suppressing mat that stays tidy without staking or pruning. The thick, waxy leaves hold moisture efficiently, giving it the signature succulent texture and drought-ready structure.
Sedum 'Wildfire' produces clusters of bright, star-shaped pink to rosy-red flowers that appear in late summer to early autumn, sitting just above the colorful foliage on short, sturdy stems. The blooms appear annually and attract bees and butterflies. A slight nighttime temperature drop in late summer encourages robust flowering.
The plant is built for balcony containers, rock gardens, border edging, and sloped beds where drainage is sharp and conditions are tough. It handles balcony wind and rain, tolerates dry heated air indoors, and grows well in drafty spots that would stress less resilient plants. Sedum 'Wildfire' is pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. It spreads generously over time, filling gaps and softening hard edges, and can stay outdoors well into autumn and winter.

Sedum 'Wildfire' does best in a gritty, fast-draining mix such as cactus and succulent blend combined with coarse perlite or pumice.
It handles temperatures from around 20°F and below, showing strong frost tolerance.
