Sedum hakonense 'Chocolate Ball'

 

Stonecrop 'Chocolate Ball'

‘Chocolate Ball’ Stonecrop is an excellent edging or rock garden plant, particularly for hot, dry sites with poor soil. This unique variety forms a low spreading mound of milk-chocolate, succulent, needle-like leaves that change to dazzling red with the onset of cooler temperatures in fall. Yellow flowers appear in summer and continue into early fall.
