Hylotelephium, Sedum, Showy Stonecrop 'Autumn Fire'

This is my first year growing it, but I am very impressed so far. The blooms are 5 or more inches across is very flat heads and very wel...Read Morel shaped and tight. It is a beautiful shade oe pink, brighter and deeper than autumn joy, I think this will be a must have for tough, dependable year end color. I love sedums.

We bought this recently, it was marked as Sedum spectabilis 'Autumn Fire'. Can't wait for it to bloom!

I have a very small cutting I am growing for next year. I plan to add it to a planting bed I am adding around our mail box. To which I ...Read Moream also adding a clematis and a creepy phlox. I am hoping these will shade the roots of the clematis and let the thrive together.

I grew this for the first time two years ago in a bed along with 'Autumn Joy' sedum. To be frankly honest I could tell no huge difference...Read More between the two. In fact my DH could not tell them apart.
This plant is absolutely maintenance free and does very well in our hot dry summers here in Ga. Bothered by no pests that I observed. Grows and multiplies very rapidly. It is even pretty in the spring and summer before it turns red. Everyone remarks that it looks like broccoli plants in its green stage.
Stunning in the fall. I love this plant and would recommend these types of sedums to anyone.
