What becomes a border most? This bold, tasteful cultivar opens with its fabulous foliage show, a rhapsodic dance of muted gold and green. Then comes the crescendo: clusters of extra-large 6-inch star-shaped, 1/2-inch greenish white flowers with pink carpels. We grow this to exceptional effect in containers as well as in a front position in our perennial borders.
Discovered at Walters Gardens in Michigan from a field of the popular Sedum 'Matrona', this is destined to surpass it in popularity. Both stems and foliage are dramatically darker black-purple. Robust clumps are quickly formed and topped with tall, thick purple stems of 8 inch rosy pink flower heads. Spectacular.
