Rock 'N Grow Back in Black Sedum

Sedum hybrid 'Back in Black'

Back in Black Sedum is a succulent perennial valued for its deep, almost black foliage that creates strong contrast in planting areas. The thick, fleshy leaves form a dense clump, giving the plant a clean, structured look. In season, clusters of soft pink blooms rise above the dark foliage, adding a subtle layer of color. Reaching about 12 to 18 inches tall and spreading 12 to 18 inches wide at maturity, it develops a compact, balanced presence that works well in borders, accents, and mixed plantings.

  • Succulent perennial
  • Dark purple to near-black foliage
  • Soft pink flower clusters
  • Compact, upright growth habit
  • Excellent for borders, accents, and mixed plantings

Back in Black Sedum thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 4 through 9, it provides bold foliage contrast and seasonal interest in Texas landscapes.
