Blue Pearl is a Sedum hybrid developed by Chris Hansen, a plant breeder fascinated with these ultra-hardy perennials. This perennial succulent belongs to the sedum or stonecrop family. This moderate grower attains a height of about 6″ inches and a spread of 18″ to 20″ inches.

The foliage of Blue Pearl is a distinctive, deep purplish-blue. Several non-patented varieties are deep, bluish-green. Late in summer, Blue Pearl produces beautiful clusters of showy pink flowers atop strong stems. The fragrant blossoms are attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, and other pollinators. Because they are late-blooming, they provide an important source of pre-winter nourishment for these creatures.

Intense Blue Pearl makes this unique new selection a great choice for landscape or patio. Remains colorful all summer long, unlike other varieties. Large, contrasting hot pink flower clusters dance above the foliage in late summer. Useful as a colorful ground cover or feature in a rock garden or container.

Care Tips

Light: Blue Pearl is more like semi-shade, exposure to sunlight may burn the beads, too little light is not strong growth. When raising them indoors, you can put them on the balcony and ensure that they get more than three hours of light a day, but be careful to avoid direct sunlight when attacking them.

Water: It mainly depends on the dryness of the soil. It is a succulent leaf, juicy and drought tolerant, usually the potting soil is almost dry before watering. It should be watered properly during the week, usually after the soil has dried out, so that the water is not excessive. Also, watering should be reduced in summer and winter because it is in a dormant state.   

Soil: The preferred soil has loose characteristics because the roots of Blue Pearl need a lot of oxygen, which tends to rot in soggy, stuffy soil, and insufficient oxygen can breed a lot of anaerobic bacteria. The soil chosen should also have good drainage and at the same time have some water holding capacity.

Potting: It is recommended to use ceramic pots, ceramic pots have a certain degree of permeability, clay pots lose water too fast, plastic pots retain water too strong, and poor permeability.  

Temperature: The growing temperature is 59-77°F (15-25℃), with spring and summer being the peak growing seasons. Winter temperatures should not fall below 41°F (5℃), which can easily frostbite the leaves and tubers and cause the plant to die. If possible, place the plant outside in a ventilated place and move it indoors in winter.  

Humidity: Blue Pearl grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. Does not like too much humidity. Normal household humidity is good for this plant.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
