Sedum 'Munstead Dark Red'

Autumn Stonecrop

Munstead Dark Red Stonecrop develops red stems and dark green leaves with purple tones. Its upright clump creates a substantial leafy accent before flowering.

Domed heads of pink-purple flowers appear in late summer and early autumn. The flowers and stems provide warm color among lighter or finer-textured plants.

Grow in full sun with well-drained soil. Avoid a site where water collects around the roots.
