As a seed strain, flower colours vary from plant to plant in shades of pink, rose and deep burgundy-red, creating a rich, natural-looking display. It is ideal for borders, rock gardens, gravel gardens, containers and pollinator plantings, and the late flowers are a valuable nectar source for bees and butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Succulent, grey-green to purple-tinted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower colour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pink to burgundy-red (varies)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late summer to autumn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardy perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clump-forming, upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16–24 in (40–60 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12–18 in (30–45 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low; drought-tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e USDA zones 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContainer friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds per packet:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Sow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost, or sow outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Sow on the surface of a moist, well-drained seed mix and press lightly without covering, as the tiny seeds need light to germinate. Keep at around 65–70°F (18–21°C) and moist but not soggy; seedlings usually appear in 1–3 weeks. Transplant once large enough to handle, spacing plants 12–18 inches apart. Seed-grown plants usually flower well from their second year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Grow\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun for the best colour and sturdiest stems, in well-drained sandy or loamy soil; rich soil can make plants floppy. Water regularly while plants establish, then allow the soil to dry between waterings. Plant in groups for the best late-season impact, alongside ornamental grasses, asters and other late perennials. Leave the dried flower heads over winter for structure and cut them back in early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OrganicSeedsHub","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45718693970103,"sku":"PL-07JAN-89","price":16.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/3335\/6471\/files\/freepik__candid-i-with-natural-textures-and-highly-realisti__12265.png?v=1767946091","url":"https:\/\/organicseedshub.com\/products\/sedum-emperors-wave-seeds-hylotelephium-telephium-hardy-stonecrop-perennial","provider":"OrganicSeedsHub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
