Stonecrop ‘Midnight Velvet’ -Upright Black-Purple leaves with dark and Rose-Red flowers - Sedum Perennial Succulent - 🦌 and 🐇 Proof - Attracts pollinators late in the season!
Common Name: Stonecrop, Live-for-Ever, Autumn Stonecrop
'Midnight Velvet' adds a new foliage and flower color combination. Rich, dark purple leaves comprise the domed habit, adding garden interest from the moment they appear in spring. Beginning in late summer clusters of mauve buds cover the habit, before bursting open with rose red flowers. After bloom seedheads appear a dark red color. Leave seedheads standing for seasonal interest and as a food source for birds in winter. UV light is required to see true foliage color; leaves will be more green in too much shade. This Tall Sedum in line with the rest of the ROCK 'N GROW® Collection, A beautifully contrasting Sedum that will set your late summer landscape and a welcome sight at the end of summer and a signal that fall is beginning!
