Sedum 'Plum Dazzled' is a new sedum sport from 'Dazzleberry' that begins in spring with plum-colored foliage that forms a colourful groundcover mound. Giant 15 cm raspberry-coloured flowerheads appear in late summer. These brilliant blooms remain colourful for over 7 weeks and make excellent long-lasting cut flowers. This plant is a pollinator magnet.

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Sedums are "plant and forget" perennials. Because of their ability to store water in their thick succulent leaves they are very drought tolerant. They do well in average well drained soil in full sun to light shade. Do not add extra organic material because this will make the plants open and floppy.
