Protected Series: ROCK N GROW
Zone: 3ROCK N GROW® BACK IN BLACK STONECROP
Sedum 'Back in Black' is a Proven Winners® Rock N Grow® selection and a premier choice for adding architectural structure and intense dark tones to the garden. This upright stonecrop is distinguished by its near-black, succulent foliage that maintains its deep purple-black hue from spring through fall. In late summer, 'Back in Black' produces large, flattened flower clusters with cream centers and deep garnet-red petals. The contrast between the dark stems and the bicolored blooms creates a striking visual impact that serves as a focal point in any late-season landscape.
To achieve the darkest foliage and strongest stems, plant 'Back in Black' in a location that receives full sun. It is a rugged, drought-tolerant perennial that thrives in average to poor, well-drained soil; avoiding over-fertilization is essential to prevent the stems from becoming too lush and heavy. In the landscape, 'Back in Black' is ideally suited for the middle of a sunny border or as a dramatic backdrop for silver-foliaged plants. Maintenance is straightforward-simply leave the dried flower heads for winter interest and cut the stems back to the ground in early spring before the new growth appears.
