Sedum
Stonecrop
Tough yet delightful, beloved by butterflies and bees, these succulent perennials flourish even in lean and mean soil. Asserting a decidedly horizontal element to the garden, long-lasting flat umbels of starry flowers emerge from buds in broccoli-like 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 virtually maintenance free.
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.
