Variegated Sedum

This variegated sedum has the most delicate starry pink and white flowers in early autumn.

Variegated Sedum

The leaf patterns of this particular variegated sedum are quite creamy and subtle in colour. Unfortunately for me it flops and sprawls over the garden, spoiling the look.

Variegated Spring Growth

Green and Gold

I also grow another variety, with gold and bright green variegations (like the colours of the Australian cricket team). It seems to really attract the aphids who are at a loose end in my garden in autumn - consequently I am a little disenchanted with this plant.

And since the Australians are so difficult to beat - at cricket, or rugby, or any sport that matters to New Zealanders - these colours can evoke a certain sadness, a slight dent in national pride...

These variegated sedums definitely look their best in spring when the fresh new growth starts, before the cricket season!
