Description
Raspberry-red flower clusters rise above smoky blue-gray foliage when Sedum Dazzleberry reaches its late-summer display. Its compact, spreading mound covers sunny border fronts without the open, floppy growth of taller sedums.
Plant it in full sun and well-drained soil in a gravel garden, along an edge, or in a container. Once established, it tolerates drought, while the flowers attract butterflies. Cut the stems back after flowering for a tidier shape, or leave the seedheads through winter.
