About the Sedum
The Sedum or Hylotelephium as it is now known as, is a clump forming perennial growing to a height of around 60cm. It has long fleshy green leaves with flat clusters of tiny star shaped flower heads on them. These flowers start to emerge in August and will continue to flower during the Autumn months, giving your garden a much needed boost of beautiful colour.
Sedum love a sunny spot in your garden, so will ideally grow well in your borders amongst other perennials. They're a drought tolerant plants, so once established, they will look after themselves in hot summer conditions.
Being a herbaceous perennial, sedums will die back over the winter months forming a clump that will sprout fresh new growth when the warmth of Spring arrives the following year.
