This plant won the Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit by impressing the judges with its compact, upright habit and full heads of the most stunning rose-pink punctuated by white buds. A winner in the garden and in the beds!
Of the whole Party Hardy series, that's the only one I don't have. It did win an RHS award of merit, so it can't be too shabby. The only reason I didn't get it was I saw pics where it looked a little floppy, so please let us know how it does for you.

I grow Class Act and it is my favorite sedum. It is a compact grower so doesn't sprawl like a lot of sedums. The flower heads are large and flat. They emerge a beautiful raspberry color and then gradually change to a burgundy wine color. I grow mine in partial shade and it performs beautifully. I highly recommend this sedum.
This sedum started rotting at the crown because we had too much rain when I planted it. However, I rooted the top portion and have it growing indoors. It bloomed inside too! I will replant it this Spring outdoors and improve the drainage. It does flop some, but most Sedums do. It has been a great houseplant!
photos! I love when outdoor plants do ok indoors!! Clint, do you have it somewhere cool (temp wise??) That's really nice that it bloomed for you indoors!
I may have to get this one

Unfortunately not great pics. The color is much richer and I don't have a snapshot of the heads as they fade to wine. I will try to do a better job next year. In the second picutre you can just see that the leaves have a very thin burgundy edge.
Great photos Felisa, would you add both of those photos to the database entry for Class Act? Stonecrop (Hylotelephium 'Class Act')
We could sure use more photos of such a great sedum.
