What is This Flower? (Autumn Joy Sedum)

RE: What is This Flower? By Billie (Guest Post) This looks like Autumn Joy Sedum. It is a great plant that does attract bees, butterflies, etc. It is very easy to propagate. Pinch out about three inches in the early spring and stick in sand or soil and keep it moist. It will root in no time and bloom in the later summer. The blooms will dry if it isn't too wet and will make nice dried arrangments for winter.

It blooms in late summer/early fall. As it dies back you don't have to cut or deadhead it. Come spring when the plant begins to green, I pull out the brown dead stems.

It's a perennial and mine doesn't need any special care. In the fall , it will continue to get a deeper color of dark mauve or maroon. This is considered to be one of the best Sedum's to have. It also spreads. I started with 2 small(12"highx4'wide) plants and it now measures about 6' across by 3' high. Posted on 10/04/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is This Flower?

It blooms in the fall & when it reaches the "dead" stage, it can be picked & used as a dried flower. Posted on 10/02/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: What is This Flower?

By Cyinda (1310) Profile Contact Autumn Joy SEDUM: If it's in bloom now (September) & it's pink & looks like a "succulent" it's called an Autumn Joy SEDUM. It requires lots of sunshine & not a lot of water. It's a perennial. (which means it will come back year after year) I have some still in pots sitting near where I need to plant them outside. I traded some pottery for 4 of them & have just left them sitting outside, being to busy to replant them, but amazingly, they have THRIVED with just a little bit of watering once in a while... Their amazing & hardy little creatures, because I still haven't killed them! ---> Here's what the plastic plant marker that came with them says: SEDUM 'Autumn Joy' Height 18-24" Spacing 18-24" Full Sun Easy care & dependable, & a provider of late summer beauty & interest. Succulent gray leaves on unbranched stems carry umbrellas of salmon pink flowers turning coppery with are. USES: Indispensable border plant, also good in rockeries & containers collections. CARE: Well drained, ordinary soil & full sun for reliable performance.

By Dorianne (2) Contact This is Sedum Spectabile or Sedum Telphium. It is a perennial and the new plants for next year already appear not long after the flowering period. It can come in pink, light red and dark wine red. It is a magnet for bees and butterflies. It is very easy to divide and replant.
