This cultivar belongs to the Sedum genus, commonly referred to as stonecrops or sedums.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to avoid waterlogged conditions. This sedum variety is relatively low-maintenance and does not require heavy fertilization. Deadheading spent flowers can prolong its blooming period and enhance its appearance. Pruning the plant in early spring can encourage vigorous growth and better flower production.

The flowers are star-shaped, with shades ranging from light pink to deep rose-red, creating a fiery and captivating display that attracts butterflies and other pollinators.
