Product description
Commonly known as Stonecrop, Sedum Touchdown Teak is a popular choice for creating late season interest. Around mid-summer, the eye-catching dark red-purple foliage blooms clusters of tiny pink flowers that last through to autumn. Flower heads can be cut back to maintain shape or left to provide added interest in the winter months.
Sedum Touchdown Teak is a fully hardy clump forming perennial and can withstand cold temperatures to around -20°C. It is incredibly easy to grow and requires very little attention to maintain good health and an attractive appearance. This plant prefers a sunny, preferably south facing spot and will reach full maturity in 2-5 years.
Well suited to flower beds, borders and containers, Sedum Touchdown Teak also works well in gravel gardens and rock gardens. This distinctive perennial is a great way to maintain colour and interest as other flowers begin to fade away.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.
