Description
18-24" tall x 12-18" wide. Matrona is always a head-turner in the garden. The stunning red/purple stems shine while supporting big puffs of mauve flowers.
About the Sedums: These perennial plants enjoy gritty, fast-draining soil, and must have full hot sun. Theyre really desert plants, so give them sharp drainage. (Sedums are often called Succulents, due to their thickened moisture-retentive leaves, and yes, the short ones include the famous Hen and Chicks from grandmothers garden.)
Once sedums are established, youve assured yourself of loads of perennial interest for the later months when most garden flowers are gone.

Beautiful color
"This sedum was in place when I purchased this house. I placed it further out from the house so it would have more sun and it didn't skip a beat. I love sedums because the grow easily are hardy and flourish where ever they grow. This one is usually colored and is a real asset to my garden of plums and dark purples with a violet cast to it pink blooms. Mine has a ways to go to get to full size but I'll mulch it up and wait for it to return even larger next year."
Beautiful plant but takes time to mature.
"Three or fours years ago I found this tiny plant growing in my garden; it must have tagged along with something else I purchased. I had no clue what it was, but I knew it was a succulent of some sort. It did not do well in full sun the past two years so I transplanted it to my part-shade garden and it has flourished this year! The leaves are large, thick, and strong, about 1. 5" cross and 3" long. The stems are a beautiful burgundy red and about 8" tall. The flower heads are filled with buds, but have not yet begun to bloom. I'm so glad I decided to keep this previously unknown plant as it is really quite striking. Now that I have been able to identify my plant as Sedum Matrona, I will be purchasing additional plants for my part-shade garden. The hardest part about gardening is patience; sometimes plants don't take no matter what we do, and sometimes we are blessed with surprises like this one. Just enjoy the experience and don't be afraid to keep trying something new, or something old in a new place. You never know. . . . . . . . . . . . . . ."
