Sedum Ruprechtii

Stonecrop-Autumn

Ruprecht Stonecrop forms a clump of rounded, fleshy leaves with gray-purple coloring and pink highlights. Pinkish stems add to its subdued color palette.

Flat heads of small flowers appear in late summer and autumn, blending creamy yellow-white with hints of pink. The plant brings both leaf texture and late bloom to a sunny mixed border.

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