Variegated, blue, and/or reddish sedum: Seeking input

I have plenty of green-leaved sedum, no need for any more.

Since I have to start re-planting my beds post-patio re-build within the next weekend or two, I've been thinking about culling some of what was previously there and starting with some fresh plants.

I'm in need of more reddish foliage, bluish foliage, variegated foliage, so am interested in your comments re: sedum with the foliage colors - namely how well do the various cultivars hold their color throughout the span of the season and in subsequent years.

I have Matrona, which I love but she's doesn't give the foliage effects I'm looking for -- she ends up more of a soft dusky green with a tinge of reddish edges. I've had Vera Jameson in the past, which I'm hoping to find because the somewhat trailing habit and smaller leaves will look good tumbling over the edges of the walls, but darn it she's difficult to find locally nowadays. I've heard Frosty Morn reverts, so I'll be staying away from that one.

So comment away on what you have and/or have had, good or bad...
