Autumn Joy Sedum in a 3.5 Pot - Beautiful Sturdy Perennial

One of the most popular perennials available today, this hardy, upright selection of Autumn Joy Sedum features light green foliage and deep rose flowers that age to a lovely bronze. This reliable, hardy and easy-to-grow perennial is grown for its distinctive foliage and star-shaped flowers, which are usually in clusters or sprays that often change color throughout their bloom time.

Tall, upright sedums form sturdy clumps of foliage which can be substituted for shrubs in the landscape. Their stout stems support the massive bloom heads that form in summer and bloom in the fall. If left standing, these sedums provide winter interest and food for birds.

With a height of 24.0 inches and a spread of 18.0-24.0 inches, Autumn Joy Sedum thrives in Hardiness Zones 3 through 9, where it enjoys full sun (more than 6 hours of direct sun per day). This perennial requires low to average water needs, and its bloom time spans from late summer through mid-fall.

The striking visual appeal of Autumn Joy Sedum makes it a popular choice for gardeners and landscapers alike. Its light green foliage provides a lush, textural backdrop for the deep rose flowers that gradually transform into a lovely bronze as the blooms mature. This eye-catching color progression adds depth and interest to garden beds, borders, and mixed plantings throughout the growing season.

Beyond their aesthetic qualities, Autumn Joy Sedum's sturdy, upright growth habit and ability to form dense clumps also make them a practical choice for use as groundcover or as substitutes for shrubs in the landscape. Their robust stems can support the weight of the large, showy bloom heads, which often attract pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden.

Even after the flowers have faded, Autumn Joy Sedum remains visually appealing, providing winter interest with its dried, standing stems and seed heads. These structures can also offer a valuable food source for birds, further enhancing the plant's ecological benefits.

Overall, Autumn Joy Sedum's combination of hardy, low-maintenance growth, distinctive foliage, and long-lasting, multi-seasonal interest make it a standout perennial choice for gardeners looking to add depth, texture, and beauty to their outdoor spaces.
