Description

Fertile seeds collected from our new and extremely attractive hybrid sedum with succulent, chocolate coloured foliage and strong stems displaying deepest pink flowers. With its exotic looking foliage it looks tender and vulnerable, but it is in fact totally hardy, dying away safely every autumn after a final burst of flower. Cut flowers will also make attractive, long-lived displays in a vase. A beautiful, very long-lived and long-flowering garden plant, with absolutely no vices. Very fine seeds, care when sowing.

Sowing Advice

Seeds can be sown at any time but are best sown in winter or early spring to benefit from a cold spell in the wet compost to break their dormancy. We advise covering seeds very thinly with sand or fine grit to about the depth of the seed size. If the seeds do not come up within 6 to 12 weeks the damp seed tray can be given cold treatment in a fridge for about four weeks. They may still take very many months to appear, so please never discard the pot or tray. Sow tiny seeds thinly immediately, at any time of the year. Simply water seeds in and do not cover, onto preferably a soil-based compost, covering with fine grit to approximately their own depth Germination MAY be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. but many seeds WILL NOT come up the year they are sown, needing winter chilling after sowing, and ONLY come up with natural spring germination.
