Hardworking and beautiful, this creeper will charm you will its delicately scalloped green foliage and its amazing explosion of pink flowers that cover the plant starting in late August. ‘John Creech’ is incredibly easy to grow, forming a dense, flat, spreading mat that chokes out any weeds and possessing an ability to thrive in sunny, hot, sandy dry soils.

This plant provides a glow in the garden all season with bright, bronzy-red foliage that forms a remarkable groundcover when planted in groups. Rose-red flowers from August into September really add to the fireworks on this easy care, dry soil tolerant plant.

You’ll think flower color is overrated when you see the year long foliage color show this tenacious groundcover puts on! ‘Blaze’ is one of those easy to grow plants that gives so much while asking so little. All it wants is well drained soil and a minimum of 6 hours of sun and it will root and spread showing off its bronze to beet red rounded, fleshy foliage along dense, trailing stems throughout the year. If the foliage color wasn’t enough, pinkish-red star-like flowers appear in July to put on a great summer show and to attract all the local butterflies. ‘Blaze’ tolerates poor, dry soils, is drought resistant and a perfect plant for covering rough areas, growing between flagstones and brightening up any landscape area!

Sedum ‘Matrona’ was one of the great summer and fall bloomers to come along in the Sedum world but the plant was so aggressive and its flowers so big that the plant tended to be a garden ‘flopper’ giving it a messy, unkempt look. ‘Maestro’ is a selection of ‘Matrona’ that improves on all the bad characteristics of its predecessor while still delivering the blooming power and great foliage color that made this plant so sought after for its time. ‘Maestro’ is a strong stemmed, upright grower that sports that trademark succulent foliage of all Stonecrop in a pleasing shade of blue-green in the spring that gradually changes to purple as the season progresses as does the color of those strong stems. Mid July heralds the appearance of masses of small, stem ending reddish-purple buds that form wide, flattened heads at the top of the plant. Flowers open in early August forming 5-7″ diamenter heads of reddish-pink bloom that butterflies love to visit. Great color continues right into September on this tough, sun loving, drought tolerant plant that loves well drained soil. Plant ‘Maestro’ alone or in groups and you’ll be thrilled by the easy care show!

If you crave the form of ‘Autumn Joy’ but you are looking for a hotter color, why not try ‘Neon’? This selection was found in a block of Sedum ‘Brilliant’ but exhibited much better form and much better flower staying power than ‘Brilliant’. You’ll love the contrast with the reddish-pink hue of ‘Autumn Joy’ as its long lasting, bubblegum pink colored flower heads burst into color in August, covering the plant and inviting any butterfly within hailing distance to come in for a sweet sip of its nectar.

Mr. Goodbud’ bears huge combs of small, light-colored buds on the top of each stem in mid-summer. The buds provide a great contrast with the fleshy, deep green foliage and open in mid to late August to flowers that are darker colored and larger than those of ‘Autumn Joy’. ‘Mr. Goodbud’ has a tight, dense form and thick stems that keep their full, colorful appearance without flopping. Plant propagation is prohibited.
