Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.
Out of season
You will rarely find Sedum 'Orange Xenox' for sale—which is a shame because it is such a good plant. Like its sister sedum plants, it flowers in late summer, through to late autumn. What sets it apart, however, is that its flowers are of a beautiful orange-pink shade. In combination with its reddish-purple leaves, this sedum goes particularly well in a hot-colour border, as well as a mixed border, or patio container.
Bred in The Netherlands, and a cross between Sedum 'Xenox' and Sedum 'Sunkissed', this particular Sedum changes colour through the season: in early summer its flower buds are pale purple, and when the flowers open, they are deep yellow at first, and change through orange to finish off a very soft pink.
Hylotelephium telephium 'Orange Xenox'ᴾᴮᴿ is ideal for the front of a border in full sun or part-shade. It’s a great choice for attracting bees and butterflies. Finally, the blooms may be cut for indoor decoration—fresh or dried.

Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
