|---|---|
| Plant Type | All Plants, Perennials Hardy |
| Hardiness Zone | 3-8 |
| Sunlight | I have seen major Botanical Gardens put this plant in shaded sites and they were leggy and very floppy. Full sun is the preferred site. |
| Moisture | average to dry |
| Soil & Site | average to dry |
| Flowers | large pink flowers contrast with the very dark foliage, September |
| Leaves | Since Black Jack has such dark foliage it is best planted against a lighter foliage plant. The plant will be lost against dark colors. |
| Dimensions | 18-24 inches |
| Propagation | cuttings |
| Cultivar Origin | Originated in a field of Sedum Matrona at the Walter Gardens perennial nursery in Michigan (USA). |
| Author's Notes | After growing this plant for a few years I have found that it readily reverts back to Matrona. I was at a perennial nursery looking for some Sedum Matrona for a job and they were sold out. I comment to the sales person, "well I will just buy Black Jack since they will revert back to Matrona anyway". |
