Sedum spectabile ‘Carl’ – 2026

Sedum spectabile ‘Carl’, also known as Hylotelephium ‘Carl’, is a clump-forming perennial admired for its fleshy, grey-green foliage and clusters of bright pink star-shaped flowers that bloom from late summer into early autumn. The upright stems rise above the compact foliage, creating a bold, textured display that adds both colour and structure to borders, gravel gardens, and container plantings. Its long-lasting blooms gradually deepen in colour, providing extended seasonal interest and visual appeal.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this drought-tolerant plant performs well in poor or stony conditions. The nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, enhancing ecological value in the garden. Low-maintenance and hardy, Sedum spectabile ‘Carl’ requires occasional trimming of spent flower heads to maintain neatness and encourage fresh growth. Its combination of attractive foliage, long-lasting blooms, and resilience makes it a versatile and visually rewarding choice for a wide range of garden settings.
