Overview

Autumn Stonecrop 'Matrona', a robust Sedum, sports fleshy, blue-green foliage edged with pink, maturing to a striking bronze. In late summer to fall, dense clusters of small, star-shaped pink flowers provide a splendid display atop sturdy, upright stems reaching 18-24 inches tall and wide. This drought-tolerant perennial is excellent for xeriscaping, attracting pollinators while providing late-season interest in USDA zones 3-9. Full sun and well-draining soil are optimal.
