Purple Emperor Stonecrop
Sedum 'Purple Emperor'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Cactus or Succulent
Plant Family: Crassulaceae
Plant Description: This succulent grows upright with thick purple leaves that provide excellent, long-lasting color contrast with other perennials. Flat masses of tiny pink to purple, star-shaped flowers bloom in late-summer to fall, attracting bees and butterflies and providing color when many other perennials are past their peak. Leave the dried seed heads up for winter interest. Tolerant of drought and many soil types as long as they are well drained.

Maintenance Type: Succulent
Plant Care: Succulent (perennials with fleshy leaves and no spines): Remove dead leaves and stems. Succulents with stems that die back in the fall may be left for winter interest or removed once dried. Trim as necessary to retain a desirable shape.
