Sedum Sunkissed - Autumn Stonecrop

Sedum 'Sunkissed', also known as stonecrop, is a succulent perennial that produces very large, creamy-yellow inflorescences on short, sturdy stems. Durable in bouquets, as well as in borders, it appreciates the sun, dry soils, and is accommodating in all situations

Stonecrops are proof that poor soil can grow beautiful specimens with generous flowers. If your soil is poor, rather dry, stony, rocky, or even limestone, you can still enjoy this hardy perennial (which resists temperatures below -15°C (5°F)). It does not require maintenance and promises to liven up the garden with visits from butterflies. These succulents are easy to grow and have flowers and foliage in various shades that can compose incredible displays, whether in beds or containers. On the other hand, you can adopt them if you have rich, moist and heavy substrate by taking a few essential precautions. They will acclimatise without any problem if you take care to add gravel and place them in full sun. They should not be subjected to excess humidity in winter.

'Sunkissed' forms a bushy clump spreading over 40cm (16in) in width, composed of sturdy and fleshy stems that rise up to 30cm (12in) in height. They bear deciduous, ovate, thick, and flat leaves, which are arranged alternately and are sessile (without petioles).

Its long-lasting and spectacular flowering provides blooms for fresh bouquets and dry ones. The beautiful inflorescences in dense, domed, almost flattened corymbs are made up of multiple small, star-shaped flowers, highly prized by insects. White in bud, they then evolve and blossom into a creamy-yellow.

Sedum 'Sunkissed' is a novelty that sweeps across a wide range of colours. It fits into all gardens and blends seamlessly with carmine, cream, and chocolate shades. It is particularly suitable for poetic and charming atmospheres. In the company of its cousins with equally shimmering hues, it brings its own personal touch. With grasses, it gives structure and colour. It provides a beautiful way to welcome autumn alongside asters.
