Emerald Coast Growers is the inaugural licensee for nine new sedums from Terra Nova Nurseries.
“Terra Nova Nurseries’ plants are the best in the business, and we’re proud to share their innovative products with the market,” said Cheri Markowitz, sales manager at Emerald Coast Growers. “These great new sedums are just the start of this exciting venture.”
The new sedum introductions include the Candy series, the Party Hardy series, 'Class Act', 'Crystal Pink', 'Hot Stuff' and 'Mr. Goodbud'.
“The exciting thing about these Sedums is that they stay strong and upright,” she said. “They’re compact and won’t break apart.”
The Candy series features Chocolate Drop (chocolaty-brown upright stems with rose-colored flowers) and Raspberry Truffle (rosy pink flowers over scalloped deep brown/purple leaves). Plants grow 12-14” and are hardy to Zones 4-9.
The Party Hardy series includes Beach Party (masses of starry, light rose-pink flowers against yellow-green, red-edged foliage), Birthday Party (big dark rose pink flower heads over bronze/purple foliage) and Pool Party (light pink clusters contrasting with aqua-blue-green foliage). Plants grow 10-24” and are hardy in Zones 4-9.
