Extra
notes and interesting information:
Sedums are commonly called stonecrops in reference to
the fact that species plants are typically found in the
wild growing on rocky or stony ledges. ‘Mohrchen’ is a
low-maintenance plant which adds interesting burgundy
foliage, late summer flower clusters and texture to the
border front or rock garden. Group or use as an accent
or specimen.
