Sedum ‘Frosty Morn’
Autumn Stonecrop |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.485.880
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 Japanese selection has showy apple-green leaves, edged in creamy white. Green buds gradually change to large pale-pink flower heads in mid autumn. In rich soils, plants should be pinched once or twice in June to prevent floppiness. Especially nice in mixed containers. Attracts butterflies.
