Sedums and bees
bees on Sedum 'Matrona' |
It's a great plant, to be sure, drought-tolerant and with multi-season interest. But flowers are short-lived, and are more bee-attracting than butterfly-attracting, as far as I've observed.
Sedum 'Matrona' is similar.
It's also a great plant, taller than 'Autumn Joy' and with attractive purplish stems and foliage.
The one in our garden in flower now is covered with bees: bumblebees, carpenter bees, sweat bees, honeybees, with only an occasional small butterfly.

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI have had these plants in the garden since the graden was created almost 15 years ago. One of them moved itself 8 foot from where it was planted. Hope you get some decent rain!!
