Sedum stonecrop
At a glance
To be selected for versatility, adaptability and a long period of interest, each plant in this chapter has to be outstanding, and Sedum ‘Matrona’ holds to that standard. Not only is it very hardy and reliable, it withstands heat and drought, and from early succulent grey green foliage in spring to reddening stems and rose pink flowers in late summer S. ‘Matrona’ gives excellent value. The autumn and winter seed heads are a bonus until spring growth begins again. Use with Geranium ‘Rozanne’, Miscanthus sinensis ‘Morning Light’, Panicum virgatum ‘Northwind’ and many other perennials and grasses.
