The compact size of this selection makes it perfect for mixed containers, rock gardens, or for edging in the border or woodland garden. Plants may benefit from a hard trim back after flowering is over, rejuvenating the leaves. Easily divided in early spring, every 3-4 years. Hardy to zone 4. Matrona' is a recent German selection that has deep grey-green foliage with an edging of pink.
Plants grow taller than most other varieties of Sedum, bearing large clusters of soft pink flowers.
Even the dried seed heads have good winter effect. Superb with ornamental grasses. A good cut-flower, also attractive to butterflies. Hardy to zone 3. Choose a rich woodland soil that remains evenly moist.
