A relatively new variety of Sedum, the ‘Matrona’ variety is great for planting at borders or in pots. These grow into attractive red stems with olive green leaves that are flushed purple. The densely packed pink flower heads bloom on top of strong straight stems which, unlike many Sedums, need no support. Sedums store water in their foliage for dry periods. In high summer it bears flat-topped flower heads. Each flower bud is white and opens to produce pale pink petals, with many of individual flowers making up each flower head. These produce a stunning effect when planted en masse. They are vigorous hardy growers and one of the best-looking blooms from summer into late winter, providing a rare sight of colour during this period. Sedum ‘Matrona’ is ideal for attracting bees and butterflies in late summer, a vital food source for the midsummer gap. Light and Water Sedums like to grow in an open, sunny spot, ideally in well-drained soil. Water when soil is dry to the touch and water thoroughly, allowing the water to drain through.
A lovely textural herbaceous perennial, Sedum 'Herbstfreude' produces fleshy, succulent pale green leaves and stems. From August through to September, large flattened clusters of tiny dark pink flowers open, creating a carpet of colour which is highly attractive to bees and butterflies. A valuable plant for late season colour, this RHS AGM Stonecrop also retains attractive seed heads throughout winter, giving your garden structure and interest. Sedum 'Herbstfreude' also has fantastic drought tolerance making it ideal for dry sunny borders, coastal gardens or prairie-style plantings. Height and spread: 60cm (24).
No perennial border would be complete without at least one variety of Sedum, and if you?re looking to encourage a host of pollinating insects into your garden, together with attractive foliage and flowers, look no further. Sedum 'Matrona' is one of the best, blessed with succulent leaves flushed bronze, with purple stems and clusters of soft pink umbel flowers in late summer. This hardy perennial will provide years of joy and happiness, due to its long lasting nature and structural habit. The seedheads not only add a splash of colour late in the year, but remain most attractive through winter, especially when frosted. Very easy to propagate and a valuable plant that makes an excellent cut flower too. Height: 75cm (30). Spread: 30cm (12).
