Sedum 'Midnight Velvet'
'Midnight Velvet' adds a new foliage and flower color combination to the world of sedum. Upon maturity rich, dark purple leaves comprise the domed habit, adding garden interest from the moment they appear in spring. Beginning in late summer clusters of mauve buds cover the habit, before bursting open with rose red flowers. After bloom seedheads appear a dark red color. Leave seedheads standing for seasonal interest and as a food source for birds in winter.
As is the case with many sedum, this variety goes through seasonal color changes. This beauty thrives when neglected. No fertilizer is required. Poor to average soil is best. A little watering the first year will help the plant establish. UV light is required to see true foliage color; leaves will be greener in too much shade, or in the greenhouse. PPAF.
