 | | | Perennials for Sun or Part Shade: Stonecrop (Sedum) A really good bee plant in particular, as like Asters it flowers so late in the season, just before the ivy comes out. Very trouble free, its huge numbers of tiny flowers are enjoyed by butterflies as well. We include sedums in both our honeybee and butterfly plant collections. Both cultivars are particularly recommended for nectar; 'Autumn Joy' is shown, just coming into flower, covered in our honeybees. More exotic cultivars are often used for green roofs, as sedum are very drought tolerant.
Varieties:
Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Joy': deep pink flowers
Sedum spectabile 'Brilliant': dark lilac-pink flowers
Flowers:September-October
Soil type: Any fertile, well drained
Supplier : Burncoose Nurseries
We donate half of our profit on sales of Sedum to The British Beekeepers' Association
Please note: there is a minimum purchase of 3 of each variety and a minimum overall order size of £50.
Our nectar and pollen plants have been chosen in association with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust, British Beekeepers’ Association and Butterfly Conservation, who benefit from any sales. Please also see our wildflower and grass seed mixes, which include a Bumblebee mix, Pollen and Nectar Mix and Butterfly and Moth Wildflower Mix. We sell a number of plants in this section which provide important late and early nectar and pollen, for which also see our bulbs and non-native trees.
For butterflies, although you will find some nectar plants in this section which are also food plants for caterpillars, you will find many more in wildflower plugs, wildflower seeds, and native trees and shrubs.
