Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Yet another succulent 'glamour queen' for the garden!! Pale silver flowers in large heads top the 18" tall stems of apple green leaves mid summer to fall. Looks almost good enough to eat (but don't)! Upright habit, 12-18" wide…any soil…full sun. Most upright sedums perform better without extra nitrogen fertilizer (which sometimes makes their stems too heavy to stand vertically). Blooms attract butterflies (and plant floozies). Drought tolerant, undemanding and easy to grow! Great beginner plants & loves the coast!
