'Beach Party' is a nice addition to my sedum beds, adding a different level of height amongst all the other sedums. I don't fertilize my raised beds, so this sedum tops out at 16 inches to the top of the blooms.
The stems of the plant are non-branching, strong, and need no support to maintain a lovely clump. It starts blooming at the end of August in the Pacific Northwest, and it has a long bloom season, providing food for many kinds of bees. The blooms give off a lovely soft sweet scent when warmed by the sun.

I leave the seed heads until spring, when the plant first starts coming out of dormancy. The smaller birds eat the seeds over the winter.
