Autumn Joy Sedum
Sedum spectabile · Succulent
Autumn Joy Sedum is a slow-growing succulent, hardy in USDA zones 3-9, that matures to about 4–24 in. It does best in full sun and part shade in well-drained, occasionally-dry and very-dry soil. Expect yellow, green and orange blooms in fall, spring and summer. It attracts bees, butterflies and pollinators, stands up well to drought, dry soil and heat and grows happily in containers.
