Pot Size/Grade

Sedum spectabile 'Stardust' is a compact, easy-care perennial that produces large clusters of crisp white flowers above attractive succulent foliage from late summer into autumn. As many other perennials begin to fade, Stardust comes into its own, providing valuable late-season colour while attracting bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators.

Its fleshy blue-green leaves create interest throughout spring and summer, while the flower heads remain attractive well into winter, adding structure and texture to the garden. Tough, drought tolerant and incredibly low maintenance, Sedum Stardust is an excellent choice for modern gardens, cottage borders, containers and water-wise landscapes.

Before new growth emerges:

Cut old stems back to ground level.
Remove any dead or damaged material.
Fresh shoots will emerge from the crown in spring.
