Autumn Joy Sedum
Sedum PS ‘Autumn Joy’
Hylotelephium 'Autumn Joy' (syn. Sedum 'Autumn Joy') is a beloved, classic perennial succulent prized for its long season of interest, from its attractive blue-green foliage in spring to its stunning flower color transformation from summer through fall. This robust, clump-forming plant produces upright, sturdy stems bearing fleshy, oval, toothed, blue-green leaves. In summer, large, broccoli-like clusters of tiny, starry, pale pink buds appear, gradually opening to soft pink flowers that deepen to rich copper, rose-red, and finally bronze-brown in autumn. A true pollinator magnet, it is an outstanding, low-maintenance choice for sunny borders, rock gardens, mass plantings, and containers, providing months of color and structure with very little water.
