Description
Le Sedum spectabile ‘Meteor’ prend le relais des grandes floraisons estivales avec ses larges inflorescences rose carmin à rouge rubis, qui s’épanouissent jusqu'à l'automne. Son beau feuillage succulent vert glauque habille une touffe compacte, décorative dès le printemps. Robuste, économe en eau et très facile à cultiver, cet orpin d’automne est une valeur sûre pour les jardins ensoleillés et les terrains rocailleux.
Le nom botanique de ce cultivar est désormais Hylotelephium spectabile ‘Meteor’. L’appellation Sedum spectabile ‘Meteor’ est encore largement utilisée en horticulture. Cette vivace appartient à la famille des Crassulacées. L’espèce type H. spectabile pousse naturellement dans le nord et l’est de la Chine, en Corée et dans une partie de l’Extrême-Orient russe, principalement sous des climats tempérés. ‘Meteor’ appartient au groupe horticole Brilliant qui rassemble des sélections proches par leur port compact, leur feuillage charnu vert glauque et leurs inflorescences aux tonalités soutenues, allant du rose vif au rouge rubis. La plante forme une touffe buissonnante de 40 à 45 cm de hauteur pour 40 à 50 cm d’envergure. Ses tiges charnues, épaisses et dressées se développent au printemps à partir d’une souche vivace. Elles portent des feuilles opposées ou réunies par trois, ovales à largement spatulées, longues de 5 à 8 cm. Leur limbe épais, d'un vert grisâtre à vert bleuté, est irrégulièrement denté dans sa partie supérieure. Le feuillage est caduc : les parties aériennes sèchent en automne, puis de nouvelles pousses apparaissent au printemps. D’août à octobre, les extrémités des tiges portent des inflorescences aplaties et denses, de 10 à 15 cm de diamètre. Elles réunissent une multitude de petites fleurs étoilées, d’abord rose soutenu puis carmin à rouge rubis. Leur couleur fonce progressivement avant de faner en brun cuivré. Très riches en nectar, les fleurs sont régulièrement visitées par les abeilles, les syrphes et les papillons. Les têtes sèches peuvent être conservées pendant l’hiver : elles restent décoratives et accrochent joliment le givre. Cette variété 'Meteor' résiste à des températures proches de –20 °C dans une terre correctement drainée.
L'orpin d'automne 'Meteor' n'a pas beaucoup d'exigences. Il se satisfait d'un sol pauvre avec peu de substrat en raison de son système racinaire affleurant. Superbe en massif, pour colorer une rocaille ou simplement en potées, il se distingue pourtant en compagnie de petites graminées pour poser le décor d'un jardin sauvage. Il peut être associé à l’Allium ‘Millenium’, au Stachys byzantina ‘Big Ears’ et à la joubarbe ‘Rubin’, dont les rosettes pourpres rappellent la couleur de ses fleurs. Ces plantes composent un décor dans des tons roses, argentés et pourprés dans les jardins de rocaille ou méditerranéens. Les inflorescences de ‘Meteor’ s'utilisent dans les bouquets frais et peuvent également être séchées.

Planting and care
Sedum spectabile ‘Meteor’ is preferably planted from September to November or from March to April, outside periods of frost and drought. In a Mediterranean climate, planting in September or October, when the rains return, helps it to establish roots. A sunny position promotes abundant flowering, rich colours and sturdy stems. The plant grows in ordinary to poor, stony or sandy, neutral to calcareous and perfectly drained soil. Soil that is too rich, too moist or insufficiently sunny will cause the formation of softer stems that may splay apart under the weight of the flower heads. A few waterings are beneficial after planting; once established, the clump tolerates heat and dry spells very well. No regular fertiliser application is necessary in open ground. In a pot, a compost lightened with gravel or pozzolana prevents moisture from stagnating around the stump. The flower heads can be left in place over winter. An old clump can be divided in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
