Sedum 'Spot On Deep Rose' is a striking herbaceous perennial that delivers bold, deep rose-pink flower clusters atop strong, upright stems with attractive grey-green foliage.

Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, it’s a superb choice for sunny borders, gravel gardens, containers, and wildlife-friendly spaces.
Seasonal Beauty & Growth
Spring:
Fleshy, succulent leaves emerge in neat, upright rosettes. The plant begins forming its dense, domed structure early in the season.
Summer:
Strong vertical stems support tight clusters of vibrant pink buds, which open to rich rose-pink flowers in late summer. The blooms attract butterflies, bees, and hoverflies, adding ecological value as well as beauty.
Autumn:
Flowers deepen in colour and dry attractively, extending interest late into the season. Foliage often develops subtle red or bronze tones before dormancy.
Winter:
Structural seedheads may persist into winter, offering texture and food for wildlife. Cut back in late winter before new growth resumes.
