Sedum ‘Purple Emperor’
Autumn Stonecrop |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.485.980
The border varieties of Stonecrop are a dependable choice for the late summer and fall garden, offering foliage interest earlier in the season, then a colourful display of flowers in the fall. This introduction features branching heads of dusty-rose flowers, over a mound of rich purple-black leaves. Even the dead flower heads have good winter effect. Sometimes floppy in moist and rich sites; pinch growth back by half in June to reduce the height. Outstanding cut flower, and also attracts butterflies.
