Sedum Spectabile Carl 2L
Sedum spectabile 'Carl', commonly known as 'Carl' stonecrop, is a robust, upright perennial that is part of the sedum or stonecrop family. This variety is celebrated for its vibrant, magenta-pink flowers that bloom in late summer to early autumn, providing a splash of color when many other garden plants are starting to fade. The flowers are highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. 'Carl' has thick, fleshy, grey-green leaves that are characteristic of sedums, known for their drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements. This makes it an ideal plant for sunny borders, rock gardens, or as a part of a succulent collection, where its late-season blooms can be fully appreciated.
