This colorful selection of Sedum brightens up the late summer and fall landscape with masses of vibrant rose red flowers borne in umbels at the tips of each stem.  They contrast nicely with the purple foliage  (which emerged green in spring).

This variety has an upright arching habit and is relatively short in stature.  Use it near the front of the border or as an accent plant in fall containers.

In trials, this hybrid outperformed older cultivars of similar appearance including 'Vera Jameson' and 'Bertram Anderson'.  It is a hybrid of S. maximum 'Atropurpureum' x S. telephium var. borderi

Tall, upright sedums form substantial clumps of foliage which can be substituted for shrubs in the landscape. Their stout, sturdy stems support the massive flower heads which develop in summer and burst into bloom in fall. If left standing, they provide winter interest and food for birds.
