Description
Another fierce, undemanding hybrid cockscomb. It is named after a rare butterfly. The plant was found in his parents' garden by Graham Gough. One of the parents of the plant has been identified as Sedum telephium subsp. maximum 'Atropurpureum', the other half is unfortunately a mystery. Regardless of the summer - whether rainy or sunny, the foliage of the variety remains dark purple to blackish red. From August to frost, the star-shaped inflorescences drive bees and butterflies crazy. The growing site could be thinner and with good drainage. It remains compact and does not lie down.
