Autum Joy Succulent - Stonecrop Sedum Plant - 1 gallon pot

A remarkable herbaceous perennial that graces gardens with its unique features. Let me share some details about this delightful plant:

• Vigorous and Hardy: This sedum is one of the best border choices. It’s vigorous, hardy, and carefree, making it a favorite among gardeners.
• Season of Interest: From early summer until well into winter, Sedum spectabile Autumn Joy offers more than 6 months of interest.
• Foliage: The plant forms a 2-foot-tall and wide (60 cm) clump of thick, fleshy, blue-green foliage.
• Flower Buds: Atop the foliage, densely clustered buds resembling broccoli gradually open to reveal tiny, star-like soft raspberry pink flowers in mid to late summer.
• Color Transformation: As fall arrives, these flowers softly change to rich rose and then coppery-rust.
• Winter Interest: Even after flowering, the foliage and dead inflorescences remain attractive through winter.
• Versatility: Autumn Joy provides color and contrast to beds, borders, or rock gardens when most other plants have stopped blooming.
• Growing Conditions: It thrives in full sun and prefers average, well-drained soils. It tolerates very light shade and poor soils.
• Wildlife Attraction: The flowers are attractive to bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.
• Drought and Heat Tolerance: Once established, it is both drought-tolerant and heat-tolerant.
• Low Maintenance: This sedum forgives neglect and is disease-resistant.
• Pairings: It looks particularly attractive when planted with Asters, Solidago (ornamental golden rods), Boltonias, and ornamental grasses.
• Late-Season Beauty: Standing for months, its faded flowers and seed heads provide a colorful display even in late fall and winter.
• Zones 3-10
