unparalleled for foliage color and texture. this is the best foliage sedum there is. the flower color is a bit muted and muddy, but that is unimportant. Excellent for pots as well as beds.

I've had a few of the purple/dark sedum varieties, and I have discarded all of them in favor of this one. It is upright and not floppy and has a lovely deep color. Absolutely the best, in my opinion.

First year and I am very impressed with this variety. I have yet to see the bloom but the foliage is off the hook. Right now Purple Emperor may get replaced with this variety.

This plant has done very well for me in the ground and in containers. It's easy to start, has a wonderful dark, purple-red color and keeps coming back, even after neglect, pet-related injury, winter rain, summer heat and drought. Plant did well in the house with a bright window, too. Acquired through the fine Pixiedish coop in the spring of 2006.
