Sedum ‘Bertram Anderson’
Black-leaf Stonecrop |
USDA Zone: 2-9 |
Plant number: 1.485.800
The creeping selections of Stonecrop are excellent groundcover plants, particularly for hot, dry sites with poor soil. This variety forms a low carpet of small, burgundy-black leaves, spreading to form a small patch. Clusters of purple-red star flowers appear in late summer. A slow grower, this is well suited to the rock garden, or for edging, also a good choice for tubs and mixed containers. Easy to propagate; simply break pieces off in early summer and stick them in the ground. Deciduous; trim stems and dead flower heads back in early spring.
