Yes, once the root system is established, Night Embers is highly drought-tolerant and prefers dry soil conditions. It is an excellent choice for areas with poor soil or regions that experience hot, dry summers.

Night Embers is hardy in USDA zones 3 through 9, meaning it can withstand cold winters across a wide range of climates. It is a perennial, so it will go dormant in the winter and return the following spring.

Since this sedum reaches a mature spread of 24 to 36 inches, you should space them at least 24 inches apart. This allows for proper airflow and ensures the plants have enough room to reach their full size without crowding.

While no plant is completely immune to wildlife, Night Embers is generally resistant to both deer and rabbits. Its succulent, thick foliage is typically unappealing to them compared to other garden favorites.
