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.

A probable Sedum telephium ‘Atropurpureum’ and Sedum ‘Ruby Glow’ descendant, this award-winning richly colored Sedum arose as a chance seedling in Vera Jameson’s garden some 50 years ago. Firm, slightly arching purplish stems plus thick succulent-style blue-green leaves, infused with deep violet and burgundy hues by late summer, boost a galaxy of petite star-like dusty-pink blooms. Coveted by bees, butterflies and floral designers, the large 3 to 5 in. wide flattened heads, unfurling from showy coral-pink buds, impart easy-to-blend antique tones and a compelling presence that lasts well into winter.
