Sedum 'Desert Black'

Stonecrops are very undemanding when it comes to their basic needs. Full sun, well-draining soil, and occasional water once established, they are often taken for granted, yet perform beautifully year after year. 'Desert Black' forms a foot-wide clump of fleshy purple foliage on short sturdy stems, adding dramatic color to container planters, hanging baskets, and sunny borders with well-draining soil. Late summer, pink-to-red blooms stand out against the dark foliage, and attract pollinators for a late season feast. Gardeners with heavy clay soil may wish to consider planting this sedum in container planters for best drainage. Those with rocky/gravelly/less-than-fertile soil will find 'Desert Black' a contented resident for such unhospitable areas of the garden.
