The plant is a match. Bees visit it, but they seem more excited about other Sedum varieties. I don't find it as pink as in the photos. In the future, I would choose a plant that develops a firmer shape. I think there are more interesting varieties, but that's a very personal opinion.

Description

Sedum (or Stonecrop) Red Cauli produces magnificent hemispherical carmine-red flowers, and is adorned with blue-grey foliage.

A rockery and dry terrain plant, Sedum 'Red Cauli' forms carpets 25 cm (10 in) in height.

It produces magnificent succulent leaves of a blue-grey colour. In summer, the plant is covered with abundant carmine-red flowers, attracting a large number of pollinating insects.

This sedum loves sun, well-drained and poor soil. It is very hardy and withstands temperatures down to -15 °C (5 °F) without any problems, provided it is not overwatered by winter rains. If in doubt, a simple and effective technique during humid winters is to install a translucent glass or plastic plate above the stump, so that the plant is positioned out of water until March.

Splendid in a rockery, it also grows very well in a pot.
