Sedum Voodoo, also known as Crimon Voodoo, has thick green leaves and and abundance of dark red flowers. Like the other stonecrop varieties, the leaves are star-shaped and grow in clusters. However, these flowers are more upright than the two counterparts listed so flowers are not as circular in appearance.
All Orange Stonecrop are succulents which need full sun and little water. It is best to remove dead flowers, but not essential to the health of the plant. These plants do not have many diseases or pest issues, but root rot is common if over-watered.
