| In late summer and fall, the foliage is topped by starry pink blooms, which appear in large, flattish clusters. And in winter, the tricolored foliage turns a bold shade of lilac-pink! A low-growing, spreading Stonecrop, S. sieboldii sets upright stems studded with fleshy leaves held out horizontally. The red edging on each life stands out boldly from early spring right through the summer heat, adding some warm tones to the rather chilly blue-green of the leaves. Then in late season the foliage almost disappears beneath masses of pale pink bloom clusters. These flowers are irresistible to butterflies and bees, and can be cut for very long-lasting indoor arrangements (fresh or dried). They also look good left on the plant, where they slowly dry out in the autumn cool, adding nice texture to the plant. In winter the entire plant turns lilac-pink. It's easy to grow in well-drained soil and plenty of sunshine. |
