Sedum
MATRONA STONECROP
SKU: 853-20
Description
These seeds are from our 'Matrona' sedum, our favorite sedum! Plants are large, forming thick clumps of red/burgundy foliage. The flower stems are very strong, and upright, never falling over. Lastly, but definitely not least, the flowers are formed in mass, turning a deep red/pink in summer, turning burgundy in fall, and lasting as a dried flower head throughout winter! An absolutely stunning plant, and one we would not be without. Provides great form in the garden. Sedum are easy to grow, and are drought tolerant. They typically like a fall sun location, though they can tolerate a considerable amount of or even full (though they won't grow as quickly in ). Sedum seeds are very tiny, so should not be buried. See germination information below.
