I’ve been purchasing bulbs from A.D.R. for many years. The quality is superior and the service fantastic. Chris and his family have always been prompt and accommodating. If you need it, Chris can find it! I wouldn’t shop anywhere else!

Sedum Tall Upright Clumping 'Thunderhead'

Stonecrop

Sedum 'Thunderhead' is a upright stonecrop with large, dense clusters of deep rose-red flowers that transition to a dramatic burgundy in fall. Blooming from late summer into early autumn, its sturdy stems support the blossoms well, making it an excellent cut flower. The thick, gray-green foliage remains attractive throughout the season and provides winter interest when dried flower heads are left intact. Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, this drought-tolerant perennial is ideal for borders, rock gardens, and pollinator plantings, attracting bees and butterflies while resisting deer.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Sedum Tall Upright Clumping 'Thunderhead'

Planting: Plant as soon as the soil is workable in spring. Soak roots in water for 3–6 hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, and set the crown just at or slightly below the soil surface. Avoid planting too deep—this can lead to rot.
Spacing: Space 18 inches apart to allow for mature spread and airflow.
Light: Full sun is best. Sedum thrives with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
Soil: Well-drained, sandy or gritty soil with a pH of 6.0–7.5. Amend with compost or sand to improve drainage.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. Once established, sedum is drought-tolerant and only needs occasional watering during dry spells.
Temperature & Humidity: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9, depending on variety. No winter protection needed once established.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a light dose of balanced fertilizer in early spring. Avoid overfeeding, which can cause floppy growth.
Pruning: Cut back stems in late fall or early spring. You can also give a mid-season trim in May or June to encourage compact growth.
Propagation: Divide clumps in fall or early spring. Sedum also roots easily from stem cuttings.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Good drainage and spacing help prevent rot and mildew.
