Sedum for BordersThe best Sedum for borders are the taller types such as Sedum spectabile and Sedum telephium varieties. They add height and structure to mixed plantings of other xeric plants and have been heavily promoted by landscape designers for planting with grasses.Many border types are grown for the dark purple hue of foliage, or the pink of the long-lasting blooms. The flower heads on the tough and adaptable plants age to a dark mahogany brown adding interest to the winter garden - another excellent reason to leave the stems until the spring. All these Sedum varieties grow best in sandy well drained soil, and survive just fine with minimal watering.
Here is a list of the border Sedum I grow. Price $60.00 per 50 cell plug flat, plus shipping, half flat per variety minimum order. Other sizes sometimes available, or custom grown so please contact me directly. Sedum spectabile 'Brilliant' - soft blue green rounded leaves and deep rose red blooms, which make a friendlier colour combination with any blue to pink flowers. Due to limited supply these are only available in 4" pots with no minimum quantity requirement. Price is $6.00 each. Picture coming soon!
Sedum hybrids - a selection of seedlings most likely hybrids of 'Purple Emperor' and 'Matrona', some of which have superb dark red glossy foliage, red stems or olive foliage. Allow me to select some for you. Due to limited supply these are only available in 4" pots with no minimum quantity requirement. Price is $6.00 each. Sedum 'Matrona' - a large scale Sedum with sage green foliage and pale pink blooms. Everything about this plant is big textured, but contrasts well with many perennials as well as other Sedum in mixed borders.
