Vera Jameson Stonecrop
('Sedum telephium Vera Jameson')

Gardeners are always looking for front-of-the-border plants that are permanent, compact and showy. A new perennial sedum called Vera Jameson is ideal for this foreground use. It is also ideal for massing in the perennial border or for use in rock gardens. Vera Jameson sedum grows 8 to 10 inches tall with a semi-upright habit and is cloaked with purplish green leaves. Plants are deciduous and die back to the ground in the winter. Dusky pink flowers in terminal heads that are up to three inches across are produced from midsummer until frost. Vera Jameson is new to the nursery trade and originated as a chance seedling of a gardener in England.

  • Height: 8 to 10 inches. 
  • Spread: 12 to 16 inches. 
  • Exposure: Plant in at least 6 hours of direct sun. 
  • Hardiness: A long lived herbaceous perennial hardy from zones 3 to 9. 
  • Culture: Easily grown in any average garden soil. Not bothered by any serious pests or diseases.
