A hybrid seedling introduced to the US from Germany in 1991, Matrona is
considered to be one the best Sedums introduced in years. The name Matrona comes
from a German word 'matrone' - which means "lady of well rounded form'. The name
alludes to the robust nature of this fine Sedum. It is a very sturdy, upright grower
with grey-purple, succulent leaves and pinkish-purple stems. The foliage alone is
outstanding but to top it off Matrona sports large, beautiful mauve-pink blooms in
late summer that continue to open up through out most of autumn. This is in our
opinion a must have perennial - very nice indeed.

Plant in full sun and provide an average well drained soil. Fertilize in
early spring with a combination of blood and bone meal. Liquid feed once in the
