Growing Sedum for Beginners

This is the time of year when sedum is in its glory. I saw this specimen recently. I think it may be the variety "Autumn Joy." I love the color, but sedum is also available in a variety of beautiful colors.

  • water as needed
  • deadhead blossoms once flowering is over


Consider adding sedum to your landscape next spring!
