Young plant received in good condition. It seems to be recovering, but the leaves look less colourful than in the picture (greener and slightly pinkish rather than purple).

Description

Sedum 'Stewed Rhubarb Mountain' is a rare-toned perennial succulent that enhances romantic atmospheres. Its late summer flowering is sumptuous: it hovers over several shades of pink before opening in autumn in a soft cream-white. The whole is supported by purple stems, slightly tinged with yellow and green, and stands out from foliage with greyish reflections. Durable in bouquets, as well as in flower beds, it appreciates the sun, dry soils, and is accommodating.

 

Sedums are proof that poor soil can provide a home to beautiful specimens with generous flowering. If your soil is poor, rather dry, even rocky, or even slightly chalky, you can still benefit from hardy perennials (they withstand temperatures below -15°C (5°F)), which require no maintenance and promise to enliven the garden with visits from butterflies. These succulents are easy to grow and have flowers and foliage in various shades that can create multiple palettes, whether in flower beds or containers. However, you can still grow them in rich, moist, and heavy substrate. They will acclimatise without any problems if you take care to add gravel. They should not be subjected to excess moisture in winter.

The 'Stewed Rhubarb Mountain' variety has a bushy tuft spreading over 30cm (12in) in width, composed of solid and fleshy stems that rise up to 50cm (20in) high. These stems are purple, with subtle green and yellow tones. They bear deciduous, ovate, thick, and flat leaves, which are arranged alternately and are sessile (without a petiole). Their green, tending towards grey, is adorned with bluish reflections and thus completes the colour palette. These nuances vary, like most of its counterparts in the same genus, depending on the climatic conditions. The amount of light and water will either lighten or accentuate its colours. It is therefore a permanent spectacle. Its long-lasting flowering is ideal for creating both fresh and dried bouquets. The beautiful inflorescences in dense, rounded, almost flattened corymbs are made up of multiple small star-shaped flowers, highly sought after by insects that continue to pollinate them. Pink in bud, they gradually fade and fully open into a refreshing cream-white.

 

Sedum 'Stewed Rhubarb Mountain' sweeps across a colour palette that means it can be integrated into any scenario: from the most poetic to the most sculptural, alongside roses and plants with silver tones, or in a tangle of grasses and gauras. Plant it with asters to create a beautiful transition to glide into autumn with.

Planting and care

Plant Sedum 'Stewed Rhubarb Mountain' in a dry, even stony, and sunny area in spring or autumn. It also tolerates heavy or slightly calcareous substrates. However, add gravel to the planting soil if it is moist or likely to retain moisture in winter. Take the same precautions if you want to place it in a pot.

Prune the inflorescences at the end of flowering or at the very beginning of spring if you prefer to keep the dried flowers on the plant for winter decoration. Beware of gastropods that attack the leaves. Divide the stump if your sedum starts to thin out in the centre. This is usually required every 3-4 years, depending on its development.
