Sedum spectabile ‘Brilliant’


Showy Stonecrop

 USDA Zone: 2-9

Plant number: 1.485.900


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 selection begins to produce green broccoli-like buds in mid-summer, which gradually open into enormous mauve-pink flower heads, finally deepening to rich rusty-red. Even the dead flower heads have good winter effect. In rich soils, plants may be pinched in June to prevent floppiness. Outstanding cut flower, and also attracts butterflies. RHS Award of Garden Merit.
