Common Name:
Sedum ‘Abbey Dore’
Description:
Sedum ‘Abbey Dore’ is a hardy, clump-forming perennial succulent prized for its dense, fleshy foliage and late-season floral display. It features upright stems with rounded, grey-green leaves that form a tidy, compact mound, topped in late summer to early autumn with large, flat clusters of dusky pink to soft raspberry-red flowers. As the blooms age, they deepen in colour and persist well into autumn, adding structure and seasonal interest. Ideal for Melbourne gardens, this variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, tolerating drought and poor soil conditions once established. ‘Abbey Dore’ is excellent for low-maintenance garden designs, borders, rockeries, and containers. It also attracts bees and butterflies, making it a great addition to pollinator-friendly plantings. With its neat form, long-lasting flowers, and tolerance of dry conditions, Sedum ‘Abbey Dore’ is a reliable performer that brings colour and texture to the late-season garden.
