What Is This Plant? (Red Sedum)
Can anyone give me a name for this plant that was given to me? The leaves are smooth and the flowers were light purple before they turned this deep red.

It is a cold tolerant sedum. One of the many plants with the common name of roseroot. they provide color late in the fall.

They also naturalize very well. You can take a small piece of the bulbous reddish roots/tubers and easily grow many more plants. Even taking large chunks of the roots have not hurt my plants.

I've never had a problem with insects or bees/wasps with them.

It's a sedum or as my Mom calls them "Forevers". You might know it as that.

I love this plant - transplanting is a snap! Trim back the tops to get a fuller plant and take that part and poke a hole and stick in the ground. And yes, watch for the bees! If this is planted in a shady area the flower is more lavender.

As the one poster said, it is a red sedum not necessarily "Autumn Joy". That is just one name among many for Sedum.

This is a perrennial sedum. It will become fuller over the years and is trouble free and beautiful.

Please be aware that the bumblebees absolutely LOVE this plant. I pulled it out because there were too many around children.
