Sedum
Stonecrop
Tough yet delightful, beloved by butterflies and bees, these succulent perennials flourish even in lean and mean soils. The blooms assert a decidedly horizontal element to the garden as long lasting, flat umbels of starry flowers emerge from buds in broccolilike clusters. Supported by stout, sturdy stems, the
blooms mature through a range of colors, extending the visual delight well into winter.
Asking only for good drainage along with an occasional sip of water, Sedums are durable, reliable and almost
maintenance-free. Sedum ‘African Sunset’ 
With smooth polished dark purple foliage, upright wine-hued stems and vivid red flowers, ‘African Sunset’ offers interest for nearly three seasons. Ardent, long lasting blooms appear late, promising to entice you as well as an entourage of butterflies. This valiant, newly introduced Sedum can be planted in the rockery or a perennial bed where its colorful drama plays out best en masse. Zone 3/4.
Size: 12"–18" high x 16" wide; hardy to zone 4. Sedum African Sunset (P-1588)

Blooms August–October. Size: 2' high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. Sedum Autumn Fire (P-1141)

Sedum ‘Matrona’
A new German cultivar, ‘Matrona’s smoky pink flowers age to russet as winter approaches. Her red-hued, glistening stems are upright and lined with luscious blue-green foliage, each thick leaf displaying a vermilion midrib and margin. Plant our softly colored “matron” with
Aster ‘Lady in Black’, Euphorbia ‘Jade Dragon’ and Pennisetum ‘Tall Tails’ for an arresting union.

Sedum ‘Purple Emperor’
Injecting an element of mysterious allure, ‘Purple Emperor’ hosts tantalizing, deep purple succulent foliage fastened to compact, dark reddish pink stems. Summer offers a perky lift as tight set, plum-hued buds become star-shaped flowers in dusky orchid shades. Introduced by England’s former Washfield Nursery after it was discovered in the Sussex garden of the proprietor’s parents, this new, regally colored Sedum holds the coveted 2002 Outstanding Perennial Plant Award, and is an enticing counterpoint for Euphorbia ‘Black Pearl’.
Blooms July–August. Size: 15" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 4. Sedum Purple Emperor (p-1301)

Sedum spectabile ‘Indian Chief’
‘Indian Chief’ commands our attention when its tranquil, pale green leaves and thick stems shoulder fiery red slabs of concentrated flowers.

Zone 3/4.
