Stonecrops (Sedum x 'Maestro') - Description
Sedum 'Maestro' is a lovely sport of Sedum 'Matrona' with attractive glaucous blue-green foliage. In late summer, this sturdy perennial is topped with rosy-pink flower clusters that are made up of hundreds of tiny flowers. Sedum 'Maestro' retains its tidy, mounded shape every year and does not open up in the center like other Sedums do over time as the heavy flower stalks start to bend over. For this reason alone this cultivar is bound to be a very popular perennial in years to come. Special thanks to breeder and 'Maestro' himself, Gary Trucks, of Amber Wave Gardens for this terrific new plant.

Stonecrops (Sedum x 'Maestro') - Interesting facts
Stonecrops are ideal for green rooftops. In areas where green rooftops are prevalent, Stonecrops are beginning to replace grasses as the primary source of plant material. Additionally, these plants are known for their succulent leaves, which are primarily used for water storage. The succulent leaves provide better fire hazard protection because a Stonecrop covered rooftop has such a high concentration of water compared to grass covered roofs.
Stonecrops (Sedum x 'Maestro') - Soil and irrigation
Does best with well-drained, average to rich soil. Will also grow in poor, dry soil.
