OT sedum question

19 years ago

I wasn't sure where to post this so I figured I'd see if anyone here can help. I bought some Black Jack sedum. They were dormant when I got them but they've been growing well. I was expecting purple foliage but these have green leaves that are edged in purple. The plants are still quite small. Will the leaves color up or was I sent the wrong plant?

TIA,

Karyn

Karyn, are they in full sun I think the more sun the darker the foliage will get.

They are in full sun and are just as green as can be! They have multiple stems that are only about 3-4" tall but there's a good deal of GREEN foliage on them. lol The stems are a dark reddish purple. I keep checking to see if the leaves are going to turn purple.
