Strong as T-Rex, this handsome upright (almost shrub-like) evergreen succulent (to 28"t x 32"w) won?t buckle under the mighty weight of its immense rose-pink, late summer-into-fall flower-heads. S/M-D/GDr PPAF

'T-Rex' is a formidable beast for the garden: the green leaves are ferociously rippled and toothed, the plants grow to over two feet tall and they boast one of the most rigidly upright strong stems of any sedum - no tipping over for this top heavy dinosaur! In late summer, clusters of greenish cream buds cover the entire clump opening to light rose pink flowers similar to its parent, 'Autumn Joy'. Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens.
