Grows in white or yellow sand but will tolerate other conditions as long as it is very well drained and nutrient poor. Needs, full sun and is used to temperatures from 30- 45 for at least 4-5 months of the year Grown for it's foliage which would look stunning against dark purples, reds, or bright greens. Comes from south of Perth, Western Australia

Native to europe, Asia and northern Africa. Prefers well drained, poor, calcareous soils. Don't over fertilise, it will lead this plant to become weak and twiggy. Good in paths, rockeries etc

Has been very suseptible to mildew and rot from moisture even though it was kept under cover. Unlike other sedums has not the best candidate for my temperate rainy climate.

This is one of the hardiest of the Northern Lights Azaleas, a little shorter than most. The buds are light pink and open to pale pink flowers that fade to white. Flowers are VERY fragrant
