season garden. The large blue-green, fleshy leaves create a very striking contrast
in the garden all season. The flowers, which fist begin to form in August start out
as rosy-pink, deepen to a nice shade of salmon then slowly turn to rusty orange. The
color changing process takes place over several weeks with each color intensifying as the
nights get cooler. No perennial border should be with out Sedum 'Autumn Joy'.
Plant in full sun and provide an average well drained soil. Fertilize in
early spring with a combination of blood and bone meal. Liquid feed once in the
summer with fish emulsion or seaweed extract. Be careful not to mulch to deeply
around the stems as it can result in rot.
