Common name: Stonecrop. 'Wineberry Delight' is NEW and a stunning Stonecrop variety featuring dark wine purple foliage that provides a striking contrast in any garden. Rose flower buds open to reveal white blooms with salmon pink centers, which darken to rose red as they mature. The overall flower color appears light pink, creating a delightful and dynamic display. A Sedum with substantial size, ideal for adding vibrant color to your perennial lineup throughout the growing season.
Tall, upright sedums form substantial clumps of foliage which can be substituted for shrubs in the landscape. Their stout, sturdy stems support the massive flower heads which develop in summer and burst into bloom in fall. If left standing, they provide winter interest and food for birds. Sedum is one of the most popular perennials grown in American gardens because it is very easy to grow and hardy in most areas of the country. Because of its thick, succulent leaves which can store water, sedum is drought tolerant. Deer and rabbits also dislike the leaf texture. It should be planted in full sun and in average to poor soil that is well-drained. Plants grown in rich soil tend to be lanky and open.

General care for any tree or shrub is easy, but like any living thing will require your attention. Please educate yourself and follow these simple rules.
Perennial Sedums
Sedum is easy to grow and beautiful, as a result it is one of the most popular garden plants. Sedums are extremely drought tolerant and can be grown in poor soil so long as there is good drainage. If grown in soil that is fertile, it will grow in a less attractive, more spread out form. Plants may be lanky. Sedum prefers full sun, but some varieties can tolerate some shade. It is very resistant to pests and disease and in the winter you'll find that birds are attracted to eat the seed heads. These heads should be removed in spring as the new growth starts to show. Think about dividing your sedum every 3 to 4 years to maintain good quality attractive plants. Spring is the best time to perform division. Sedum is usually not bothered by pests or disease.
