Sedum hakonense 'Chocolate Ball' is a low-growing succulent that gradually forms a small mat of bronze foliage. In summer and early autumn the foliage is topped by yellow, pollinator-friendly flowers.

Sedum hakonense 'Chocolate Ball' is a great addition to alpine gardens, between paving slabs and stepping stones or in pots and containers. The chocolate-coloured foliage makes the perfect foil for paler foliage.

For best results, grow Sedum hakonense 'Chocolate Ball' in full sun in well-drained soil. It's half-hardy, so will require protection from excessive winter wet and hard frosts.
