Hylotelephium ‘Dazzleberry’

SunSparkler Dazzleberry Sedum

Hylotelephium 'Dazzleberry' produces broad, flattened clusters of vivid raspberry-pink flowers from late summer into fall, creating a colorful display that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Thick, succulent leaves are smoky blue-gray with a soft powdery finish, forming a dense, upright mound that remains attractive throughout the growing season. Strong burgundy stems support the abundant flower heads, while the blooms gradually deepen in color and persist into autumn, extending seasonal interest even after flowering.
