Sedum = stonecrop is a plant which we, when we were kids, called rabbit's cabbage. Its leaves look just like the vegetable that hardly any child likes to eat without moaning. However, when it came to flower in late summer it showed such beauty that we willingly forgot about cabbage, and ripped off flowering stems for Mum so she could enjoy it, too, and we’d be good kids bringing her flowers.

Brillant is a spectacular stonecrop variety with vivid pink flowers that could only be compared to Neon variety, but with larger flowerheads. Individual flowers are numerous, small, star-shaped, formed in almost flat terminal cymes, emerge light pink, mature to vivid pink, and become purple pink in autumn. They attract butterflies as well as eyes of passers-by. The leaves are light green and look like iced, hence its other common name – ice plant.

Sedum is an easy to grow, clump-forming perennial. It can take almost any soil but thrives in well-drained, slightly alkaline, sandy loam in full sun or part shade. When established it survives temporary flooding as well as drought. However, when planting make sure the soil does not manifest either extreme. Fully hardy to min. -34°C (USDA zone 4).
