Plant of the week

SEDUM ‘MR GOODBUD’

-

CORRECTLY known as Hyloteleph­ium, this is a succulent plant related to stonecrops. Flowering from early to mid or late autumn, it produces sturdy stems bearing pale green, fleshy leaves. At the top of each stem a tightly packed shallow dome appears, bearing purple or deep pink flowers.

Tall sedums like these thrive in full sun, in sharpdrain­ing soils. They are drought resistant, looking better now than most perennials after a hot, dry summer. The young shoots emerge early in the season but increase in height slowly, with their first flowers in September.
