Sedum 'Thunderhead' has huge, deep rose flower heads in summer on upright stems above grey-green, burgundy-infused foliage. The huge, billowing flower heads of this stonecrop will astound you in your summer garden. Great foliage interest is provided by the succulent leaves that emerge blue green with burgundy highlights, then develop bolder burgundy, brown and red colouration over a bluish background. Awesome.

Dark clusters of dazzling rose-red flowers rise on robust, erect stems over succulent 2' mounds of gray-green foliage. The handsome foliage is overlaid in autumn with wine-red tones. Sedums are easy-going perennials that are perfect for pollinator gardens, the bees and butterflies love them! Dried flower clusters can be removed for tidy appearance or left uncut to provide winter interest. These delightful succulents are extremely drought tolerant, making them a fantastic choice for warm, sunny sites. They also flourish in coastal situations and thrive in containers, perfect!
