Default A really tall sedum

Does any one know of a tall sedum?

Not Autumn Joy or kin tall (for me around 24" max), but a true back of the
border sedum.

Or lacking a true sedum, something with the presence of a sedum that I could
use near my tall (6 foot plus) grasses.


Thanks all,

Cheryl



Piet Oudolf has a book "Gardening with Grasses" which has a good selection
of plants that go well with grasses. Depending on the height of the
grass, you might try Solidago "Fireworks" or Eupatorium "Chocolate" or
Aster "Lady in Black". If you don't need to go as high, try a combo of
things like Echinops and Knautia macedonica. Leucanthemum "Becky" works,
too. It's really up to you and what statement you wish to make.
