Description: Sedum ‘Purple BLOB®’ is a compact, clumping perennial succulent admired for its bold, purple-toned foliage and neat, domed form. This low-growing variety creates a tidy mound of rich, smoky-purple leaves that hold their colour across the seasons, adding structure and contrast to borders, pots, and rock gardens. As late summer arrives, clusters of pale pink flowers emerge, attracting bees and other pollinators to the garden. Suited perfectly to Melbourne’s dry summers and cool winters, ‘Purple BLOB®’ thrives in full sun with excellent drainage. It is a fuss-free, waterwise option that brings seasonal interest and year-round texture to modern, Mediterranean, and coastal garden designs. Its strong form and vivid foliage make it a valuable feature in low-maintenance plantings and massed landscape schemes.
