Sedum - Autumn Joy
Common Name: Autumn Stonecrop
One of the most popular perennials on the market today. This hardy, upright selection sports light green leaves and deep rose flowers which age to a beautiful bronze.
Tall, upright sedums form substantial clumps of foliage which can be substituted for shrubs in the landscape. Their stout, sturdy stems support the massive flower heads which develop in summer and burst into bloom in fall. If left standing, they provide winter interest and food for birds.
Autumn Joy Sedum is a popular and reliable perennial known for its architectural form, color transitions, and extended seasonal interest. This clump-forming sedum has fleshy, blue-green leaves and produces large, flat-topped clusters of pink flowers in late summer.
The flower heads deepen to shades of rose and then to coppery-red in the fall, providing a burst of color just when many other plants are fading. The dried flower heads also add winter interest to the garden.
Autumn Joy Sedum thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens, beds, borders, and pollinator gardens. It is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and attracts butterflies and bees during its bloom period.
With its reliable and striking performance, Autumn Joy Sedum is suitable for cottage gardens, modern landscapes, and rock gardens. It returns year after year with minimal care, making it a favorite among gardeners.
