Sedum sieboldii ‘Mediovariegatum’
Variegated October Daphne |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 1.485.850
Called October Daphne because the clusters of flowers resemble the Daphne shrub. This Stonecrop forms a cascading mound of succulent powdery-blue leaves, with contrasting centres of creamy yellow. In late summer the clusters of starry soft-pink flowers appear on the ends of the stems. Nice for edging borders, in the rock garden, containers or walls. Easily divided in spring, if desired. Occasionally seen as an indoor houseplant, but perfectly hardy out in the garden as well.
