Sedum Blue Pearl makes a marvellous year-round feature with its fleshy, blue/plum coloured foliage and come summer and autumn the display steps up a notch with a display of bright pink clusters of flowers held on strong vertical stems. Sedums are a fun, fantastic, tough and easy to grow succulent plant that come in a huge range of colours, textures and shapes. A great variety for a beginner gardener, to form a collection, or to encourage children to garden. Sedums make beautiful artistic displays when they are planted with a mixture of different species in contrasting colours. They can be planted just about anywhere from garden beds, rooftops, pots, baskets, even old boots!
