Sedum (Crassulaceae) BSWJ8662

viviparum

An unusual species we collected seed of in the T'aebaeksan area of South Korea, where the winters can be bleak. Growing in part shade on large boulders alongside a river with striking erect dark purple-brown stems to 60cm tall, bearing contrasting grey-green ovate serrate opposite leaves or in whirls of threes, with terminal domed cymes of pale grey-green flowers July to September. Easily grown in full sun to partly shaded sites in a well drained soil.
