Older, but still reliable and favorite cultivar from 1916, bred by famous British horticulturalist, plant lady and garden designer Gertrude Jekyll.

Lower, well branched and dense clumps, fleshy blue-green leaves are tinged red, upright growth to mounds 18" tall x 18-24" wide (can get a bit taller in optimum conditions).

Carmine-rose flowers from August till September, that stay pretty through out the winter (until you cut the plants back in early spring).

Deer and rabbit resistant, black walnut tolerant plant.

Sun, half shade, average garden soil, drier clay, sandy, rocky or shallow soil. Average moisture to medium-dry soil, slightly moist soil.

Hardy in zones 3 to 9.

Attracts butterflies, honey bees and some native bees. No serious troubles or pests bother this plant.

Gertruda Jekyll was growing selected this plant and was growing it in her home garden known as Munstead Wood in Surrey, England.

Newer name is Hylotelephium telephium 'Munstead Dark Red'.

Good garden perennial for front or mid of flower beds. Good company will provide majority of perennials on both spectrum of dry to average moist soils. Looks wonderful with grasses too.

Size pot : square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot

  • Sedum 'Munstead Dark Red' 5

    Posted by Anida on Oct 18 2021

    This sedum is how I came across USPerennials! After collecting over 50 sedum cultivars within 5 years, I set out to find this particular one, and this nursery is the only one that still had it for sale (it is an older cultivar). And so I ordered 2, and then came back for 1 more. Since they were both Fall purchases, I did not see it in bloom, but the foliage is unique, and I can't wait to see how its flower color compares to my others next year. Had it not been for this particular sedum, I probably never would have come across USPerennials, which has immediately become my favorite mail-order nursery.
