Stonecrop (Sedum) is among the very hardy and long-lived perennials that require almost no care in the garden. Its original home is rocky, sunny slopes, so it will thrive best in direct sunlight in well-drained, rather dry loamy or sandy soil. It manages to grow well even where more demanding flowers would not thrive at all. The main advantage of stonecrops is their late blooming. They come into their beauty at the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, when most of the garden is slowly finishing its bloom. They create dense upright clumps topped with large inflorescences that act like a magnet for bees and butterflies. They provide them with a valuable source of food before the approaching winter. The plants also look nice in the cold months. Their dried inflorescences covered in frost interestingly complement the winter garden. At Loukykvět, we grow reliable cultivars with various leaf and flower colors. You can easily combine them in the flower bed with ornamental grasses or other perennials and create a space that will look good for a large part of the year.
