Sedum 'Autumn Joy' - A Resilient and Colourful Perennial
Sedum 'Autumn Joy', commonly known as Autumn Joy Stonecrop, is a resilient and colourful perennial that adds a burst of rosy-pink to the garden from late summer through autumn. Known for its succulent foliage and vibrant blooms, this plant is perfect for borders, rock gardens, and containers. 'Autumn Joy' brings both beauty and durability to various garden settings.
The standout feature of Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is its clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers. These blooms start as rosy-pink and gradually mature to a rich, deep pink, creating a stunning display that attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The flowers rise above the fleshy, blue-green foliage, adding height and texture to the garden. The plant's succulent nature makes it drought-tolerant and ideal for low-maintenance gardening.
Caring for Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is straightforward, making it suitable for gardeners of all experience levels. Plant Autumn Joy Stonecrop in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil and ensure it receives plenty of sunlight, as it thrives best in full sun. Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, but be careful not to overwater, as Sedum prefers slightly drier conditions. To encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance, remove spent flower heads. In late autumn, cut back the stems to ground level to prepare the plant for winter. With its low maintenance needs and vibrant flowers, Sedum 'Autumn Joy' is a wonderful addition to any garden, providing long-lasting colour and attracting beneficial pollinators.
