Sedum Rosy Glow

Sedum Rosy Glow

Rosy Glow stonecrop makes a low clump of fleshy blue-green leaves. Ruby-red flowers develop in late summer and early fall, when many smaller rock-garden plants have finished blooming. The compact growth fits border edges, containers and groundcover plantings.

Give it full sun and well-drained soil. Established plants tolerate dry conditions, and the flowers attract butterflies.
