Dark Magic Stonecrop (Sedum telephium 'Dark Magic')

Dark Magic Stonecrop brings dramatic, near-black foliage to sunny gardens and keeps that dark contrast looking sharp all season. As late summer arrives, it adds a strong flower show in deep pink tones that carries into fall and draws pollinators when many plants are slowing down. The compact, upright habit stays neat and easy to blend into mixed borders without constant touch-ups. Give it sun and drainage, and it delivers high impact with low effort.

Distinctive Features

This compact, clump-forming stonecrop is known for glossy, purple-black foliage on sturdy stems that hold their form well. Dense, flat-topped flower clusters open in late summer to fall in dark pink to deep pink shades, creating standout contrast against the foliage. Buds add visual interest before peak bloom, and the flower heads can dry attractively for extended texture after flowering. Its succulent leaves help it handle heat and short dry spells once established in well-drained soil.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun provides the darkest foliage color and the most compact growth, with light shade tolerated.
  • Soil: Plant in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil and avoid heavy, consistently wet sites.
  • Water: Water to establish, then allow soil to dry between waterings, watering during extended drought as needed.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy in USDA Zones 4 to 9 in typical garden conditions.
  • Mature Size: Typically grows 12 to 15 inches tall and spreads 16 to 20 inches wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use a small grouping as a foliage focal point where the purple-black leaves and deep pink blooms can anchor a sunny bed.
  • Borders: Plant in sunny borders to add dark contrast and a strong late-season bloom finish.
  • Mass Planting: Plant in drifts for bold, unified color that reads from a distance through late summer and fall.
  • Rock and Gravel Gardens: Fit it into fast-draining beds where drought-tolerant perennials perform best.
  • Containers: Grow in containers with sharp drainage to bring dramatic foliage color to patios and entries.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Leave flower heads for fall and winter texture, then cut back stems in late winter to early spring before new growth starts.
  • Fertilizing: Avoid heavy feeding, because rich soil can encourage softer growth and reduce stem strength.
  • Staking: Staking is rarely needed when grown in full sun and well-drained soil.
  • Mulching: Use a light mulch or gravel top-dress and keep the crown from staying wet to reduce rot risk.
  • Spacing: Provide good airflow and room to mound out to help maintain a clean, compact habit.

Why Choose Dark Magic Stonecrop?

  • Dark Foliage Contrast: Glossy purple-black leaves create dramatic color that elevates nearby plants.
  • Late-Season Bloom: Deep pink flower clusters extend color from late summer into fall.
  • Compact Form: Neat, well-branched growth fits easily into borders and smaller spaces.
  • Waterwise Performance: Handles heat and short dry spells well once established in well-drained soil.
  • Pollinator Value: Flower clusters attract bees and butterflies during a valuable late-season window.

Dark Magic Stonecrop pairs especially well with gold foliage plants, ornamental grasses, and late-blooming perennials for a long, cohesive finish to the season. With sun and drainage, it stays compact, colorful, and dependable, delivering strong garden structure well into fall.

Lil boy's favorite ball
Style: Recharges, Size: Medium
The squeak gets my little boy every time. The glow factor is under par. I mainly get it because he also enjoys the brighter colors. All of the others be trying to get his ball. Good product just wish it would glow better because our park times are right around sunset.

The glow doesn’t last long, not super bright.
Style: Recharges, Size: Medium
I charge my glow in the dark balls with a black light flashlight, this one was not very bright, and it did not hold the charge very long. Also, with it being green, it was hard for my dog to find in the grass.
