Sedum telephium 'Touchdown Teak' (Pot Size 3L) Stonecrop sold by Boma Garden Centre

This is a striking perennial succulent with fleshy, oval leaves in deep mahogany that deepen to purple-brown as the season progresses. Sturdy dark red stems carry neat clusters of small, star-shaped rose-pink flowers that persist from midsummer well into autumn, providing colour and pollinator food when many other plants are fading.Sedum ‘Touchdown Teak’ is exceptionally hardy, tolerating poor soils, drought and wind once established. It thrives in full sun with well-drained soil-chalk, loam, sand and gravel all suit it-making it ideal for borders, rockeries, gravel gardens and containers. Low-maintenance and virtually pest-free, it asks little beyond the right position.
