  • Posted by valleylynn (Oregon City, OR - Zone 8b) on Sep 6, 2014 3:48 PM concerning plant:
    'Chocolate Drop' has the darkest leaves of all the dark-leafed sedums I have. The leaves are a very dark chocolate brown color with a hint of purple. The leaf color holds up through the growing season. It also has shiny leaves that seem to reflect light in the beds. It makes a great accent grown beside lighter-leafed plants like 'Elsie's Gold.' It is a non-branching plant that is not very dense in growth habit, but still lovely and worth growing.
    'Chocolate Drop' at maturity is 18 inches to the top of the flower heads. Strong stems that stay upright without support.

    Here it is growing beside 'Elsie's Gold'.
