Sedum 'José Aubergine' - 2026

Sedum 'José Aubergine', also known as Hylotelephium 'José Aubergine', is a compact, clump-forming perennial with striking dark purple, almost black, fleshy foliage that provides year-round interest. From late summer into early autumn, it produces clusters of soft pink star-shaped flowers that rise above the foliage, creating a dramatic contrast and textured display. Its tidy, upright habit makes it perfect for borders, gravel gardens, or container plantings, offering both ornamental appeal and long-lasting seasonal colour.

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