Do not grow in overly rich soil or plants will
be less compact.   Low maintenance and
easy to grow.  Do not give Sedum too much
TLC.  Do not water until totally dry.  Some
protection from  hot afternoon sun is
appreciated by darker leaf sedums.

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.
