Low-Maintenance and Bursting with Fall Color
Get consistent color, without the hard work. Autumn Joy Sedum delivers rich color and texture, summer through fall, without the fuss of more delicate perennials.
This Sedum emerges in late spring, gracing garden beds with a bright green color and rich succulent look. As the season progresses, the plant forms dense bud clusters, finally bursting with color as summer comes to a close.
Flower heads emerge a pale blush color, transitioning to a deep, rosy russet in early fall. But the Autumn Joy Sedum's benefits don't stop there - when the stalks dry in winter, you can leave them intact until spring, for a pop of color and texture year-round. The Autumn Joy Sedum is perfect for rock gardens or mixed borders, or even patio containers.
While other perennials are winding down for the season, Autumn Joy Sedum is just getting started - perfect for four-season gardens. And its flowers are great for cut flower arrangements or for drying and arranging - make bouquets for your home or share with a friend!

Planting & Care
1. Planting: In the garden, till the soil in your desired planting area, wet it, and place your Autumn Joy Sedum. Water after planting. In a pot, you need to cover only half the soil surface with your Autumn Joy - it will fill in and even grow over the sides in a few months.
2. Watering: Water your Autumn Joy Sedum after planting, and regularly during the first growing season to establish. Avoid excess moisture in winter. Natural rainfall will take care of the rest.
3. Pruning and care: Fertilize in spring, and clip spent flowers to promote blooming. Remove old, faded foliage before new leaves emerge in spring.

Autumn Joy
I planted it in my flowerbed and it looks beautiful - Like the one in the picture. Some of the stems came off in planting - but I planted them in other places in my yard. I have had experience with this plant - and know they grow roots from the stems. I love this plant!

Looks good this shipment

Very hardy plant
I have about 17 of this sedum. Always performs well. I Have divided them and given to others many times. A hardy plant. They look beautiful when in bloom. Even early summer they fill in gardens nicely. Keeps a uniform shape. Highly recommend! Very easy to care for.

Amazing Plant
One of my favs in the garden. Tough as nails. Doesn't like fertilizer, can adapt to crumby soil and does not need to be babied. 4 season interest is what I love about this plant. Everyone should have one.
