The named variety 'Turkish Delight' for which I received seed features deep burgundy leaves and flowers just a shade lighter, but my first-year plants grown from the seed didn't appear to have inherited the right genes, and were a more typical light-green sedum color, although a few showed some blush by early June. As seedlings, they have broader, less obviously succulent leaves than most other species I've grown. They stayed small for months, then just as I looked away for a few days, all of a sudden they leaped. Over the next few months, one or two of the plants developed a more pronounced burgundy leaf color. By the time they bloomed in mid-September, both the green-leaved and burgundy-leaved kinds were nice in their own way.
