|
| |
| The border varieties of Stonecrop are a dependable choice for the late summer and fall garden, offering foliage interest earlier in the season, then a colourful display of flowers in the autumn. 'Matrona' is a German selection that has deep grey-green foliage with an edging of pink. Plants grow taller than most other varieties of Sedum, bearing large clusters of soft pink flowers. Even the dried seed heads have good winter effect. Truly one of the best selections yet introduced. Superb with ornamental grasses. Good cutflower, also attractive to butterflies.
