SEDUMS - PLANT OF THE MONTH!
The Sedum family, also known as stonecrops or ice plants, are fleshy succulent plants. Sedum spectabile ‘Brilliant’, available from St Bridget Nurseries in Exeter, is a clump-forming perennial variety that is a wonderful choice for any garden. The large, flat flower heads grow in profusion and are covered in star-shaped rose pink flowers that bloom in late summer and last well into the autumn. Sedums are also one of the many plants to be included in the St Bridget Nurseries Wildlife Garden Range as approved by the Devon Wildlife Trust. Sedums are worth including in any wildlife garden, as they are an important late summer food plant for bees and butterflies, who feed on the flower nectar and once the flowers fade, birds feast on the seeds. Sedum spectabile ‘Brilliant’ is available with a wide range of other Sedums from St Bridget Nurseries for just £5.75 a plant.
