BELONGS TO CATEGORIES | Perennials |
Ground covering stonecrops are alpine perennials which are available in so many species and varieties that anyone can find his favourite. They are cultivated for the spreading, low habit, and offer a wide range of leaf shapes and colours, as well as attractive flowers. Many of them are evergreen, others are deciduous. Dazzleberry is the very first variety out of the exciting SUNSPARKLER® series bred by Chris Hansen from Garden Solutions of West Michigan, USA.
Dazzleberry stonecrop emerges with small, oval, deciduous, dark blue-green leaves flushed dark purple red in spring, and mature to deep purple blue or almost deep burgundy red in summer. Huge flower heads measure up to 20 cm across, and open into sparkling rich pink star-shaped flowers from late August for 6 to 8 weeks. They provide excellent food for bees which are grateful for any flowers late in the season.
It makes dense and compact cushions, and looks great among rocks, or surrounded by white or light grey gravel in an alpine border. It is suitable for troughs and other outdoor pots. In early spring remove all stems from previous year.
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).
