Sedum Ice Plants for Autumn

Sedum Ice Plants for Autumn

Sedum telephium matrona

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
