Why You’ll Love it

Sedum ‘Matrona’ is a striking perennial, valued for its deeply coloured stems and foliage topped with large, soft pink flower heads in late summer and autumn. The contrast between the dusky purple stems and the pale, rosy blooms adds depth and interest to mixed borders and naturalistic plantings. Like other Sedums, it’s highly attractive to bees and butterflies and thrives in dry, sunny conditions. Tough, dependable, and low-maintenance, ‘Matrona’ provides long-lasting structure and colour well into the cooler months.

Planting & Care Tips

• Plant in full sun for best colour and sturdy growth

• Prefers well-drained soil; ideal for sandy or gravelly sites

• Water during establishment, then sparingly once established

• Avoid overly rich soils to prevent flopping

• Leave spent flower heads standing over winter for structure

• Cut back in late winter or early spring before new growth appears
