Billowing clouds of rose-red flower clusters shroud sturdy, upright, gray-green foliage. Flower heads transition to a dramatic, deep red and foliage will infuse some burgundy red tones in fall. We forecast these will create blustery excitement! Stonecrop provides beautiful low-care summer and fall color. Let dried flower heads remain to provide nice winter interest. Sedum store water in their thick succulent leaves which enables them to be extremely drought tolerant. Sedum Thunderhead is an upright Sedum variety great for a hot, sunny site.

Regularly used as a ground cover, it makes a great choice for areas of your garden where other plants do not succeed. Flower stems can be removed to keep the patch kept clean, as well as to prevent self-seeding. 

 CAUTION:Difficult to eradicate once established. Do not discard unwanted plants in any natural areas, as they may establish themselves and become invasive.  Unwanted all-green shoots should be sprayed with a non-selective weed killer.
