Sedum (Crassulaceae) BSWJ8480

viviparum

An unusual species we collected seed of in the Chiaksan area of South Korea, where the winters can be bleak. Growing in part shade 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.
