Spectacular, 2″ long, tubular flowers open in June showing a yellow interior that flares to a star at the end while the exterior is deep red, providing a unique, two-toned look that will light up your shade garden. Spigelia likes well-drained soil but is just at home in moist, organic soils and will provide a flower show each year that will be enhanced by colorful hummingbirds seeking nectar.

Foliage color and striking bloom come together to make this Sedum a garden force. Rich burgundy color graces this foliage as it emerges on upright, fleshy stems to form a dense mound in the garden.

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!
