Description

An often under-utilised plant that should be more widely used. Similar to Sedum middendorffianum and other leafy green sedums, this plant is superior in fall and winter color. It also gets a little taller and in our experience is a little tougher. Long, green, toothed foliage with yellow flowers in midsummer. Leaves offer a lovely show of crimson in fall, reminiscent of the bright red of maple leaves. Dark burgundy rosettes are set in winter.
