Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Joy'
Description
Sedum spectabile 'Autumn Joy', commonly known as Autumn Stonecrop, is a popular perennial known for its succulent-like foliage and stunning late-season blooms. Its thick, fleshy leaves store water, making it drought-tolerant. In late summer to fall, it produces large, flat-topped clusters of pink flowers that mature to a rich, coppery-red, providing a striking display in the garden.
Suggested Uses
This plant is ideal for rock gardens, borders, and as a ground cover. It is also excellent for container gardening and can be used in xeriscaping due to its drought tolerance. The flowers are attractive to pollinators, making it a great choice for wildlife gardens.
