Sedum spectabile |
Other names: Ice Plant
Autumn-flowering sedum is an old-fashioned perennial that produces bluish green rosettes of succulent foliage throughout summer. Towards mid-summer, flat tightly-packed heads of green buds appear just above the foliage. In late summer the buds gradually open to reveal masses of tiny flowers. They are highly attractive to butterflies and bees making an additional attraction in the autumn garden. |
