    Stardust is a pure white sport of Sedum spectabile and produces heads crowded with creamy white flowers which are a magnet to bees and butterflies alike. It has a stocky compact habit to 45cm and nice pale glaucous green fleshy leaves.

    A superb Sedum with smoky beetroot coloured foliage. Spotted by Graham Gough of Marchants Nursery in his parent's garden in East Sussex. Bees adore this plant, spending weeks visiting the mass of rosy pink flowers stary flowers. It has a compact habit, growing 35-50cm tall, flowering in July to September. Lovely as a foliage plant or to observe the insects that are drwn to the flowers - this year we had the pleasure of watching hornets (native) hunting bees over our sedums. They take time selecting a victim and once they pounce they wrestle it until they can bite it behind the head, flying off with the bee held facing forward.
