Autumn Joy Stonecrop Sedum for Rare Planting

The late summer blooms of this Sedum variety persist until late fall, showcasing a stunning display of colors ranging from very light pink to dark pink and eventually crimson. Presented in the form of clusters of tiny flowers, the blooms resemble the shape of clouds, attracting a variety of pollinators such as bumblebees, honeybees, and butterflies.

Honeybees, which have a significant amount of work to do, tend to keep to themselves unless provoked, so there is no need to panic. In fifteen-plus years of growing Sedum, the author has never experienced a sting. The plant is known for its succulent, perennial, hardy, deer-resistant, and drought-tolerant nature.

Sedum's only dislike is overwatering. In zones 8-10, the plant remains green even during the winter, capable of withstanding the occasional snowfall. However, in colder zones, it requires protection through heavy mulch or potting. The blooms grow on stems that dry out in the winter, and these stems, along with the dried clusters, should be carefully removed.

Sedum does not necessitate regular feeding, but occasional organic fertilizer can be added to the soil. Even when transplanting or splitting a large plant, organic fertilizer can be incorporated. Sedum can be planted in late fall or year-round if grown indoors.

The author emphasizes the plant's organic, pink, crimson, colorful, floral, perennial, deer-resistant, garden-friendly, drought-tolerant, and succulent qualities, making it an attractive choice for gardeners.
