Notes

'Munstead Dark Red' sedum (Sedum 'Munstead Dark Red') is a perennial for borders, pollinator gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil of most types. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Its low care needs make it easy to grow.

Pairs well with Russian sage, Silver feather grass, and Rosemary.
