This plant is a wonderful hardy perennial (it comes back each year). Sedum are a favorite of butterflies and hummers. Deer tend to be uninterested in them. They grow well in containers. The blossoms of the taller varieties are great in flower bouquets, both fresh and dried. Lower growing sedum are great for groundcover. Sedum are also known as Stonecrop. Our Sedum are some of the best available on the market today. We search wide and far for the best performing, most colorful varieties that are reproduced vegetatively. Our plants are vigorous hybrids not inferior seedlings. All of our sedum are of blooming size.

Our plants have been over-wintered here in the upper Midwest to ensure strength and hardiness and to encourage blooming the first year in your garden. Our plants are grown outdoors where Mother Nature helps us produce the best plants possible. Our potted plants can be planted at your convenience, just keep them watered until you are ready to put them into the ground. We include complete planting instructions with all orders. This plant is ready for your garden!
