Do not grow in overly rich soil or plants will
be less compact.  Low growing sedums will
do better in part shade than tall varieties.
Low maintenance and easy to grow.  Do
not give Sedum too much TLC.  Do not
water until totally dry. In the South, some
protection from the hot afternoon sun is
appreciated.

Sedum 'Purple Emperor' unlike 'Black Jack' emerges purple and
gets your attention right away.    This variety has a semi-upright
habit.  Massive flower heads of bronze-pink  bloom in late summer.
Great for rock beds,  or those dry sunny areas.
