ABBEYDORE STONECROP
Sedum 'Abbeydore' is a stunning upright stonecrop known for its compact habit and vibrant late-season display. It typically reaches a height of 15 to 18 inches, forming a sturdy mound of succulent, blue-green foliage. As summer transitions into fall, it produces dense clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers that begin as soft pink buds before maturing into a deep magenta-pink. These blooms are a significant draw for pollinators, particularly bees and butterflies, providing a reliable nectar source when many other perennials have finished their cycle.
For the best results, plant 'Abbeydore' in a location that receives full sun, which ensures strong stems and the most intense flower color. It thrives in well-drained soil and is notably drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for rock gardens, sunny borders, or mass plantings. To maintain its shape, you can pinch back the new growth in late spring, though it is naturally resistant to the "flopping" that affects taller stonecrops. It requires minimal maintenance beyond cutting the stems back to the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges.
