PURPLE EMPEROR STONECROP Sedum

These seeds are from our 'Purple Emperor' sedum, and beautiful clumping sedum for the front of garden beds. Plants have deep mahogany foliage, and red/pink flowers in summer, turning to bronze/burgundy/black in the fall and lasting through winter. Plants form large clumps, and will tumble slightly, forming a rounded mound. Sedum are easy to grow, and are tolerant of drought.

Type: Hardy perennial

Height: 18-24" tall

Location: Sun or part

Hardiness zones: 3-9

Seeds per pack: 10

Germination: Obtain a tray with holes in the bottom for water to drain, and a tray to catch the water. Place the seeds on the surface of a pre-moistened (dampened) sterile seed-start mix. Water with a spray bottle, or from the bottom tray so water can wick upwards and not disturb the tiny seeds. Place the container in a plastic bag to help retain moisture, or cover with plastic until you see growth beginning. Place in a bright location as they need light to germinate. Be sure to keep the seeds moderately moist until plants germinate. Seeds germinate in about 2-5 weeks. Grow in a sunny location.
