Sedum telephium 'Munstead Dark Red' - 2026

Sedum telephium 'Munstead Dark Red', also known as Hylotelephium 'Munstead Dark Red', is a clump-forming perennial admired for its fleshy, grey-green foliage and striking deep red star-shaped flowers that bloom from late summer into early autumn. The upright stems rise above the compact foliage, creating a bold, textured display that adds colour and architectural interest to borders, gravel gardens, and container plantings. Its long-lasting blooms gradually deepen in hue, providing extended seasonal appeal and visual impact.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this drought-tolerant plant performs well in poor or stony conditions. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, enhancing the garden's ecological value. Low-maintenance and hardy, Sedum telephium 'Munstead Dark Red' requires occasional trimming of spent flower heads to encourage fresh growth. Its combination of striking foliage, vibrant flowers, and resilience makes it a versatile and visually rewarding choice for a wide range of garden settings.
