This is the Sedum most often displayed in classic perennial garden borders. It is a feature for many months in summer and autumn. Flower heads emerge pale green and open to many shades of pink until aging to a dark terracotta with pale green upright foliage. Very impressive planted as a group. Growing to around 80cm high with an 80cm spread.

Supplied this time of year as bare root clumps with basal buds ready to shoot.

Sedums are a very large genus of plants. There are hundreds of varieties but we only concentrate on the ones that are often displayed in perennial border gardens. Generally, these are the larger growing types. Some can reach up to 1M high, all are very drought tolerant and flower over long period during late summer and autumn. Can easily grow in large pots and tends to attract butterflies. Most have strikingly coloured, glistening flowers. They look at their best when grown with full sun, in cool or temperate climates. Not suited to sub tropics. Deciduous in very cold winter areas. Supplied this time of year as bare root clumps with basal buds ready to shoot.
