    Won an Award of Garden Merit from the RHS in 2006.

    Richer tones and better foliage than S. ‘Brilliant’.

    Planted 3 last summer. Only one survived the winter with only two small late shoots (Zone 5, mild winter).
    Very disappointed in this plant. Normally, sedums are an easy no-care plant here.

    Mr. Goodbud is one of my two favorite upright sedum varieties. It remains upright and blooms prolifically in a darker and brighter pink than Autumn Joy. The foliage has a very attractive purple tinge.
