Comments:
This sedum produces thick fleshy gray green foliage and large flat clusters of star shaped pink flowers in summer. The brownish-maroon seed heads are also attractive in late autumn. Provide full sunlight and a soil mix that contains a generous amount of sand to insure fast drainage. Plants that receive too much water will rot. Fertilize sparingly.
