What Makes Sedum voodoo Unique

Sedum voodoo stands out with low, creeping stems densely packed with fleshy, deep red leaves throughout the year. In late spring and summer, clusters of star-shaped pink-red flowers appear, creating a stunning contrast against the foliage. This variety is especially valued for its intense colour in full sun, making it a standout among mat-forming sedums. Unlike many sedums, sedum voodoo retains its colour even through colder months, ensuring year-round interest in your garden.

Planting and Care Tips for Sedum voodoo

One of the biggest advantages of sedum voodoo is its adaptability. Plant it in well-draining soil and a sunny spot for the best foliage colour. It also tolerates partial shade, but richer hues develop under bright light. Sedum voodoo is perfect for filling gaps between pavers, cascading over retaining walls, or as a living mulch around larger succulents. Water sparingly – this succulent is drought tolerant and prefers to dry out between watering. It’s also frost hardy, making it ideal for most New Zealand regions.

Creative Uses for Sedum voodoo in NZ Gardens

Sedum voodoo is a brilliant addition to mixed succulent plantings, contemporary containers, and borders. Pair it with silver-leaved plants for contrast, or combine with other vibrant sedums like Sedum 'Midnight Coral' and Sedum 'Autumn Joy' for a dazzling display. In rock gardens or alpine beds, sedum voodoo creates lush mats that suppress weeds and provide bold colour all year. Try using it as a companion around showy succulents like Echeveria simonoasa, Haworthia fasciata, or Aloe aristata for a dynamic texture mix. For fairy gardens and vertical pockets, it partners beautifully with smaller varieties such as Sedum 'Little Missy' (Crassula Little Missy).

Curious how sedum voodoo stacks up against other popular varieties? The Jelly Bean Plant, Sedum rubrotinctum (Jelly Bean Plant), offers playful shapes and vivid green-red hues, while Sedum 'Silver Blob' features silvery foliage ideal for cool-toned gardens. Sedum 'Autumn Joy' forms upright clumps with late summer pink blooms, making it a star in perennial borders. Each sedum is unique but shares the same low maintenance, drought-hardy character that makes them so popular in Kiwi gardens.
