Sedum " Purple Emperor"

what a gorgeous colour Pp

Thanks Val its a lovely plant would highly recomend ;0)

That is beautiful, the pink against the blue leaves is striking.

Wonderful colors. I see why it is such a star. :-)

Thats lovely, I like that one.

Thanks Drc, GT and Cinders pleased you like it too;0))

lovely plants PP - mine have failed me :(

that is so pretty. Love that colour. :O)

Love this one,Carole..such lovely colouring to the leaves..wherabouts have you planted it ? Remind me to have a look next week..:o)

Paul Im sorry to hear that, I wonder why I find them so easy, hardy and reliable, do you think its some sort of virus?

Thanks Olive its a beautiful colour even when iys not in flower the foliage is such a rich purple.

Hi Sandr I will show you next week, may be able to get a cutting for you if you can find room ! lol

Thanks Carole..I'll suss any spaces out,if possible,and let you know. :o)

I really like the colour of this one, Pp....I bought "Postman's Pride" last November...it's been poking along, not looking as happy as other sedums. Finally some blossom though it's a bright red. I like the colour of yours better.

Fabulous Pansy....I love Sedums...:>)

Thanks Lori, Motinot and Homebird this is a lovely one and well worth searching out if you like Sedums, I think the dark leaf ones do take a little longer to get established but once they get going there's no stopping them! Lori I havent seen a red one it sounds interesting have you a picture?

I like this Carole there's a such a lovely contrast between the leaves and flowers ... very nice !

This is going to my faves. I really love it!

It is a lovely one Carole, I took my granddaughters to a nearby GC today and had a good look at these, wish I'd bought one now, it's such a pretty pink!

This is lovely Carole...

Thanks Amy, Karen, Janey and Michaella for all your lovely comforts have to admit its one of my favourites too;0)

Another one for the list:-)

Will get a pic posted as soon as I can, Pp...

Thanks Ba, and Lori ;0)

Pic's up, Pp...beside the pink it looks quite red. The leaves are purple and the blossom wine red.

Thanks Lori wil have a peep ;0)

Lovely , Pp , I'll look out for one of those .
I have a taller variety which has to be staked , but I love the foliage on this one .

Thanks Driad this one ism,ore a creeping spreader so havent needed to stake it'0)

very pretty and love the color :-)))))))))

Thaks Junna , it is a very pretty sedum and ideal for the front of the border, if I had to choose just one Sedum this would be it;0))

Lovely pp I've never thought of sedum for ground cover, will certainly do so now. If you are doing cuttings, I'd love some, love the contrast of foliage and flowers, :o))

No problem Val I will be trimming back in the next couple of weeks so will get you a piece, just send me your address. Its really is a beauty;0)

The one you gave me seems to be doing ok ,Carole..still in it's pot as you suggested..I have put it in the growhouse,but it's left open during the day..should I leave it there for the winter ? not really sure,with Sedums being hardy..

They are hardy Sandra but it will die back then regrow in spring, so it should be ok outside, but if you are concerned I dont think it would come to any harm in the Greenhouse.Been planting a few bulbs today on the rockery and in the front garden, that and cleaning the Conservatory windows lol

Thanks Carole..I think I will leave it there,but keep an eye on it..maybe a little water now and then,to stop it drying out completely..What a lovely day it's been,ideal for bulb planting..I got some in a few days ago..and today,we had Thomas ..he was here for breakfast ! ...then I went out to lunch with a friend,and left him with Russell :o) so not done much of anything ! Lol.

thanks Carole, hope you didn't mind me asking for cuttings. Let me know byPM for my address :o)

I saw one of these in a GC on my last day back, and reduced, too, but it was just too big and vulnerable for the suitcase. Darn it! It is SO pretty, and I have the perfect spot for it in my garden. One for the wish-list. I didn't realise you could propagate from cuttings. I must try with my other sedums.
I bought what looked very like a pretty little pink-flowered sedum from a garden shop today- as usual it was unlabelled, and as I paid for it I asked the girl what it was, and thought she said "pianta grassa", which is "succulent", but an Italian friend told me what it is is a "crassula", so isn't it a sedum, after all? They aren't the same thing, are they?
