This fleshy leaved Sedum Telephium Matrona is just colouring and clumping up in my garden. It is not as vigorous as Sedum spectabile Autumn Joy which can be come a bit of a thug if left unchecked.
- Look out for even stronger burgandy coloured foliage and flowerheads
- Try the ‘Chelsea chop’ on plants in May to encourage later growth that isn’t as prone to flop. Cut back the young growth and wait for the plant to rejuvenate
- Sometimes called Ice Plants the heads can be left on over winter and look good rimed in frost.
- Nearly as attractive to Bees and Butterflies as the Buddleia
- Easy to grow even in poor soil and work well in cottage gardens
