Description
Like a midnight jewel nestled in your Irish garden, Sedum ‘Black Night’ brings dramatic elegance with its striking dark purple-black foliage that seems to absorb light itself. This remarkable stonecrop thrives in our changeable climate, offering year-round architectural interest that transforms ordinary borders into something truly extraordinary.
Throughout summer, the succulent leaves create a stunning backdrop, their deep colouring intensifying in full sun. Come late summer, clusters of rich burgundy-red flowers crown each stem, creating a spectacular contrast against the dark foliage whilst attracting clouds of butterflies and beneficial insects to your garden sanctuary.
Named for its distinctive midnight-dark leaves, this hardy perennial embodies resilience and beauty in equal measure. Perfectly suited to Irish conditions, it tolerates both drought and our unpredictable weather with remarkable grace, making it an invaluable addition to cottage gardens, contemporary borders, and wildlife-friendly spaces alike.
Pair ‘Black Night’ with silvery artemisia, golden rudbeckia, or pale pink asters for breath-taking colour combinations. It’s equally stunning in gravel gardens, rock gardens, or as edging for pathways, bringing sophisticated drama to any Irish garden whilst requiring minimal care once established.
