Sedum sieboldii ‘Mediovariegatum’ (October Daphne Stonecrop)

Noted for its wonderful tricolor appearance, Sedum sieboldii ‘Mediovariegatum’ (October Daphne Stonecrop) is a low growing, semi-evergreen perennial with many seasons of interest. Forming a cascading mound, the plant sends out horizontal branches bearing whorls of rounded, powdery-blue leaves with conspicuous creamy-yellow centers. When the plant matures, the leaves take on a plum-red edge. In fall, clusters of rose pink, star-shaped flowers stand out against the foliage. Attractive in full flower, the plant is visited by scores of butterflies. Prized for its foliage color, drought tolerance and gorgeous fall display, October Daphne Stonecrop is a very versatile sedum. It can be used as an edging, in rock gardens, or tucked into cracks in a rock wall. It is also wonderful in containers where the foliage and flowers can be enjoyed throughout the season.
