Description

The most colorful of the albums we carry. As heat resistant and drought tolerant as the species, this variety is reliably hardy and provides interest year round. 'Murale' is the same in flower color and form to the straight species; however, it boasts beautiful dark purple to reddish-purple leaves that deepen in color as winter approaches. Foliage persists throughout the winter months. A small but extremely tough plant, it forms a dense carpet of plant material which spreads to cover a good-sized area. Dainty, airy white flowers bloom in midsummer. Foliage can be immensely colorful, ranging from purple to green, with red to orange or bronze areas. Typically tends towards green in the summer months. Be aware when planting that the amount of sun and water this plant receives also affects the color of the foliage. This variety is often sold mistakenly as "Sedum 'Coral Carpet'".
