sedum transforms
from a pretty pink in
summer to a rusty
copper in fall..
Brilliant
(Hylotelephium spectabile
‘Brilliant’) reaches up to
1-1/2 feet high. Its large
flower heads are bright
mauve-pink.
Matrona
(Hylotelephium telephium
‘Matrona’) has sage-green
to gray foliage with hints
of lavender, edged pink. Its
flowers are smoky pink.
Meteor
(Hylotelephium spectabile
‘Meteor’) is very similar
to Brilliant, but its rich
pink-purple flowers are
even more vivid.
Ruby Glow
(Hylotelephium ‘Ruby Glow’)
boasts ruddy stems, ruby-
red flower heads and green
leaves edged or tinged with
dusky purple or red; it’s
often under a foot in height.
Stardust
(Hylotelephium spectabile
‘Stardust’) has nearly
white flowers and
blue-green leaves.
Sunset Cloud
(Hylotelephium ‘Sunset
Cloud’) sports chalky blue
leaves; the flower heads
are a rich, rosy red. It’s
somewhat shorter than
other border sedums.
Vera Jameson
(Hylotelephium ‘Vera
Jameson’) has soft, waxy
blue foliage that later
turns purple-maroon or
even bronze, and magenta
flower heads—a gorgeous
contrast. It is often less
than a foot tall.
