difficult conditions. Comes up and blooms year after year with little or 
no attention. Withstands heat, drought, cold and shallow, poor soil. Foli- 
age is ornamental all summer long and the large, flat heads of clear pink 
blooms are produced on sturdy stems and in abundance. Plant ordinarily 
reaches 12 to 18 inches in height with bloom stems rising 10 to 12 inches 
above foliage during blooming season. 
One of the greatest features of ‘Sedum Spectabilis’’ is its versatility.

plant it among low growing shrubs for increased foliage and color effects:

the steps; place plants 12 or 16 inches apart in porch or window boxes; 
use it as a low growing summer hedge between various sections cf the 
vegetable garden; set plants 10 inches apart for a flowering hedge around 
a Rose or perennial bed. In fact, you probably can think of a dozen other 
uses for such a plant. And remember, best of all isi its extreme hardiness 
and the ease with which it can be grown.
