Altman Plants / ISI 2014
Sedum Firestorm™ is a vivid branching succulent with fleshy lance-shaped leaves combining bright green centres and orange-red margins. Every tip resembles a small flame, and their repetition creates a warm energetic palette that fully earns the name ‘Firestorm’. Clean form and bold edging bring colour without sacrificing the elegance of the foliage.
As stems spread and multiply, individual flames merge into a dense multicoloured cluster, shifting from green and gold through orange and red. Small star-shaped flowers can add a light, luminous detail above the warm base. This is an exceptionally attractive Sedum with immediate desirability, made for anyone seeking rich colour, a recognisable identity and a composition that never feels static.
